The NZ Economy and global economy will go into recession because of Trump
The recession isn’t coming — it’s already here. Trump lit the fuse, but local political choices are making the explosion worse.

The recession isn’t coming — it’s already here. Trump lit the fuse, but local political choices are making the explosion worse.

Winston Peters was in the room just before Trump backed down. Imagine if New Zealand had used that moment to speak with principle instead of crawling.

ACT dress it up in ideology. NZ First weaponise resentment with a grin. And now Taine Randell has decided that’s the wagon worth hitching himself to.

Trump’s geopolitical madness won’t stay in the Middle East. It’s coming for your groceries, your mortgage, your job and every excuse this Government makes for staying silent.

Mining. Fishing. Donations. At what point does “policy” start looking like payback?

Winston says he had nothing to do with it. The official report says otherwise. So who’s telling the truth — and why does it matter now?

A claim is made. A judge is dragged. Then it’s “disavowed.” But the damage? That sticks.

Thousands marched. Not just against war — but against New Zealand’s silence while it happens.

NZ First’s rise isn’t random — it’s fuelled by anger, algorithms and culture war politics. The real question is who it destroys next.

NZ First supporters aren’t just angry—they’re reshaping politics into something uglier. And if National wins, guess who gets the keys again?
