Mark the Week: Is this a new low for Trump?

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

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.    The 5% first home buyers policy: 8/10  Small house deposits for first-timers is the policy of the week. In fact, it's the policy of the campaign so far. It's easy, practical, and solves an issue important to voters.    Michelin: 7/10  Possibly the most encouraging story of the week. The Michelin effect is real, it's ongoing, and the good operators can prove it.    Chris Hipkins: 4/10  Worst week in a long time. A second bad poll and growing questions around the campaign, or lack of it, and his personal ability to look like he's actually interested.    Trump: 2/10  Is making stuff up about 9/11 a new low? When does exaggeration and bombast wander into the territory of insult and plain BS?    The Warriors: 9/10  Rounded it out with yet more victory. Home advantage, a week off and, potentially, it's all a dream coming true.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
