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.

\xa0

Donald Trump: 6/10

On balance, given how mad the world is these days, his legal troubles have more upside than not. And what does that say about division?

\xa0

Jacinda Ardern: 6/10

It's one of the stranger periods of our political story. So popular, until she was so unpopular. She had a lot of promise that shone brightly, but only briefly, and that starkness says as much about us as it does about her.

\xa0

Sanna Marin: 4/10

Proof that being adored by the media and being lapped up internationally doesn\u2019t actually count if the locals don\u2019t like you.

\xa0

The Warriors: 8/10

This is a different side, Shaun Johnson is renewed, if not reborn, and Andrew Webster is the man. This is our year!

\xa0

The Reserve Bank: 4/10

Whoops. What 25?! Take that 50 point rise and learn your lesson. It is now abundantly clear we have cocked this up. The maniacal approach to borders and mandates and rules and dictatorial behaviour has a price, and it looks to be higher than others.

\xa0

Paris: 7/10

They're voting to ban e-scooters. Is that the most productive thing they\u2019ve done all year?

\xa0

Asa Hutchinson: 6/10

Good on him for giving it a crack. But is that the first and last time you will hear the name Asa Hutchinson between now and the end of next year?
