      I don’t know, man. There’s gotta be more context to that saying. That’s how people get duped.

      I mean, even Trump can be an example of this.

        So if Trump says he’s awesome, believe him until he demonstrates otherwise. It won’t take long in his case.

        If Trump says he loves America, believe him until he says he’s trying to destroy our democracy.

        I don’t see why we need additional context.
