In recent months international news and commentary have been full of Donald J. Trump. Spanning his time as U.S. president-elect from 5 November 2025 through to his inauguration as the 47th U.S. President on 20 January 2025 and up to the the tenth day of his second term in office.
Although the tone of commentary often reflects a sense of disapproval, unease or alarm, I have yet to come across an article or interview that attempts to gauge the mood of the American population in any depth.
I certainly do not have the resources to attempt such a task,
What I did is what most people do when seeking information, go to Google and ask a question and in this case look for that particular question being asked in the United States of America.
Here is a Google Trends graph covering a 7 day period from 3-10 November 2024 which shows a sharp increase in the U.S. of use of the search term "moving to" [using just five countries] with the peak occurring on presidential election day and falling away thereafter but not disappearing completely.

A second Google Trends graph created for a 7 day period covering 22-28 January 2025 shows use in the U.S. of the search term "moving to" [using the same five countries] having a sustained level of interest across the board level.
