Mark the Week: Trump's an infuriating mix of effective and insane

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.    Trump: 6/10  An infuriating mix of effective and insane. It's rare for a single person to dominate news everyday all week, but there you go.    Iceland: 2/10  Was Iceland his Biden moment and no one called it out? Can you threaten to invade a place who's name you can't even remember?    Tony Brown: 8/10  Appeared on the show this week and set the cat amongst the pigeons.    The rugby union: 2/10  When you look at Razor and listen to Tony, where do you reckon the real issues are?    Anna Breman: 6/10  The Dr vs Winston vs Nicola. I side with Anna. She is either independent or she isn't.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
