Mark the Week: Was the ceasefire expiring Trump's worst hour yet?

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. 

GDP: 9/10 

The Infometrics Q2 read is the final nail in the misery merchants' coffin – the turnaround is real. 

Chris Hipkins: 4/10 

Between the streaming bill he didn’t know he had and the Prime Minister interviews he didn’t listen to, does this look like a guy who is razor sharp and ready to rumble in an election campaign? 

Ginny Andersen ruling out all taxes: 7/10 

Big call and had to have made Chlöe choke on her oats. 

The ceasefire: 2/10 

Is that Trump's worst hour yet? Think of all the things he said versus all the things that didn’t happen. It's almost as though he makes it up or doesn’t have a clue what's going on. 

Liam Lawson: 9/10 

Oh, the irony of hand injuries and Zandvoort. Can we really rule a podium out?
