Mark the Week: Trump looks ropier by the day

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. 

 

Fonterra: 9/10 

It is literally raining money. Record farmgate, record profits, and the milk price starting at $10 for next year. Go buy a ute. 

 

Port of Auckland: 2/10 

Everything that’s wrong with New Zealand – putting prices up because you can. 

 

Auckland FC: 7/10 

Falling when they did took the shine off, but up until then there was a lot of shine to enjoy. 

  

Trump: 4/10 

He looks ropier by the day. The meme dinner, the court blocking the tariffs, the ceasefires that haven't happened. It looks rambling, ill-disciplined, and insane. Oh, and that’s before you get to Harvard. 

 

Coffee: 4/10 

$10 a cup and Al Brown is selling filter. It's not right. 

 

Radio NZ: 4/10 

All that money for all those listeners to wander off to places like the Mike Hosking Breakfast. What's worse value – public radio you don’t want or a Waiuku crossing you can't afford?
