minus-squareTelorand@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoBelieve them, at least until they demonstrate otherwise.

minus-squareTelorand@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoSo if Trump says he’s awesome, believe him until he demonstrates otherwise. It won’t take long in his case.
