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.
Donald Trump: 1/10
Complete and utter chaotic clown. You don’t treat the world economy like this.
Clowns: 2/10
In order: Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Pete Hegseth, and Karoline Leavitt.
Collected close to a billion dollars in unpaid tax, simply by looking – quite a good concept!
Is it ingenious or worrying when you're asking the Mike Hosking Breakfast for policy ideas?
Wool: 8/10
Wool deserves a break. In pure economic terms I'm not sure this is on the Government to spin the line, far less the yarn. But it's Winston's baby and he's 80-years-old today so, why not?
Is he the answer for Wellington, or a retired politician looking for work?
