People have bias. Are you are exempt? Is it _always_ scientific to decide what's in someone's head and then use that assumption to justify not liking them for a action you would appreciate if someone else did it?

You said in 3 different ways you do not trust Trump, are there specific actions you can imagine that he would need do to do to gain more trust from you? Can't you just cop-out by still arguing it's his intent (as decided by you) that matters?

Of course to everything. Doesn't mean any of what I said isn't true or spot on the mark. Everything I said still holds and because people have bias, it's even more important we talk facts and why's. It's never black and white, but understanding context and why sure helps us navigate the gray.

And, to answer directly, yes, I can imagine things that would make me trust Trump. I can also imagine things that he would do that would further erode trust. Yes to both those with Obama (as it played out over the 8 years he was in office).

I honestly don't know what we are arguing anymore. This thread started with the TPP I guess? I don't know.
