This is The Guardian.

Today, The Guardian's editor-in-chief looks back at 2025.

20205. 2020 A year of conflicts, crises, crackdowns, a sprinkling of hope, and a lot of Donald Trump.

We're putting America first, and we are making America great again.

We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

I ended all of the lawless so-called diversity, equity and inclusion bullshit.

As editor-in-chief of The Guardian, Catherine Viner has watched it all unfold.

From the humiliation of Zelensky in the Oval Office...

Have you said thank you?

No, in this entire meeting, have you said thank you?

Soldiers on the streets of U.S. cities.

And the bombing of fishing boats in the Caribbean.

I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.

Okay, we're going to kill them.

The U.S. President has cast a long shadow over, well, pretty much everything this year.

And we have three more years to go, at least.

At home, we've seen the Labour government languish,

while Nigel Farage and Reform rise to the top of the polls.

We are all ships rising on a turquoise tide,

headed ever closer towards winning the next general election.

The world got itself a new pope.

Who, si bin homen imposed leonem decimum quastum.
