Mark the Week: Donald Trump is his own worst enemy

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Migration: 3/10 

We are still leaving in record numbers. Young New Zealanders deciding this ain’t the place for them. It is a startling and ongoing indictment. 

 

Oil: 6/10 

That’s a good thing too. Between the price and the dollar, it's trended in the right direction. Fill your boots. 

 

The NFL season: 8/10 

Continues to get bigger globally every year. I'm obsessed with it. It is elite sport at its best. 

 

The IRD: 3/10 

Taking our stuff and flicking it off to big tech without asking us is dumb and rude and needs stopping. 

 

Australian rules: 3/10 

Governments pretending they can solve problems that haven't been solved anywhere is wasteful. If Australia successfully bans kids from social media I'll eat Rawiri Waititi's hat. 

 

Donald Trump: 2/10 

He is his own worst enemy.

they continue to remind us they are a modern day
hazard in too many ways. Australian rules. Three. It's not
