04.05.2025 ⇢ Trump Questions Due Process While Warning Buffett Steps Down
⌨
Warren Buffett's retirement announcement dominated early morning coverage, with media noting his humble successor and the end of an investing era. By midday, focus shifted to Trump administration's sweeping budget cuts, particularly to the EPA, NEA, and national parks funding, following earlier cuts to media and Harvard.
Afternoon coverage centered on Trump's NBC interview where he stated "I don't know" when asked if he supports constitutional due process—a statement multiple outlets highlighted throughout the day with escalating concern. Trump also dismissed tariff price increases as "peanuts" and named Vance and Rubio as potential successors in 2028.
International tensions rose with reports of Houthi missiles striking near Ben Gurion Airport, Mexico rejecting Trump's offer to send troops after cartels, and Australia's elections being overshadowed by Trump policies. The controversy over Trump's AI-generated Pope image continued with Catholic rebukes and MAGA supporters expressing disapproval.
