All the “best words and sentiments”, things we have heard before, are no better than silence without action.

Generally speaking one should always ignore everything a politician says, yes. The only thing I care about is what a politician does and actually accomplishes. If I want beautiful speeches I have any number of famous orators I can listen to any time I want.

I think the problem here is that you actually trust what he's saying? If that's the case I would just ask why you believe he's speaking honestly now when he's had a career of lying publicly?
