Column: After a bruising election year in America what will 2025 bring?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : We could search high and low and we'd probably find precisely zero people in America who voted for Trump because they wanted the U.S. to take control of Greenland.
47% : In my view, Trump was elected mainly to tame inflation -- bringing down the oft-discussed price of eggs and bacon, for starters -- and securing the country's southern border with Mexico.
44% : How are you feeling as the year ends?Barabak: I'm feeling both hunky and dory, but that's because I don't let things beyond my control -- earthquakes, asteroids, crushingly disappointing election results -- get me down.
42% : Whether you trust Trump now or not, we're about to find out if he's all talk.
24% : But I also think it's critical that we remember that Trump has a history of lying and lawbreaking, as evidenced by both his criminal convictions and his loss in a sexual-abuse civil lawsuit to E. Jean Carroll.
