    Either you believe what he says, or you don’t.

    That’s a false dichotomy. 10% of what Trump says is true but 90% of what he says is insane, so 9% of what Trump says should legitimately concern everyone. Because we don’t know which 10% is true, we have to be concerned about everything he says.

      Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. My opinion is that, as you pointed out, if you can’t tell what he says is true, whatever percentage it is, then we should all be concerned about everything he says, or he shouldn’t even be a president.

      I made my argument because the number one problem I have with people who voted for Trump is “he will do this and that for us” (insert inflation or immigration or whatever hot topic), while, regardless what he says will do is good or not, there is no guaranteed that he will uphold his promises.
