Since Trump’s return to the Oval Office in January, his administration has faced hundreds of lawsuits targeting his executive orders and actions, some of which have resulted in nationwide injunctions.
The Supreme Court is set to hear a case on May 15 about three federal judges who issued separate nationwide injunctions blocking an executive order by Trump ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
On Mar. 15, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued a ruling temporarily blocking the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport criminal illegal alien gang members to El Salvador.
Trump said that court rulings slowing down his deportation agenda could lead to a "very dangerous country."

The president said he expects that in whichever deal is ultimately reached, the current 145 percent tariff against China will be much lower, but noted it "won’t be zero" either.
"It used to be zero. We were just destroyed. China was taking us for a ride and it’s just not going to happen," he said. "We're going to be very good to China, I have a great relationship with President XI. But they would make billions and billions and billions of dollars a year, and they would build their military out of the United States on what they made so that won't happen."
"But they're going to do very well," he continued. "And I think they're going to be happy and I think we're going to live together very happily and ideally work together. So, I think it's going to work out very well."
During the Q and A Trump also put to bed rumors that he would be firing Jerome Powell from his role as chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve over a disagreement about lowering interest rates.

In response to a question on whether he had any intention to fire Powell, Trump replied, "None whatsoever. Never did."

"The press runs away with things. No, I have no intention of firing him," said Trump.
"I would like to see him be a little more active in terms of his idea to lower interest rates," he noted, adding, "This is a perfect time to lower interest rates. If he doesn't, is it the end? No, it's not, but it would be good timing. It would be it which could have taken place earlier. But, no, I have no intention to fire him."
