It is in my nature to give the benefit of the doubt, but as my post clearly says at the end: "That being said, these are nice things that people would want to hear so I too am paying attention."
Do you give the same benefit of the doubt to the 10s of thousands of civil servants who have already been abruptly fired without cause? Do you assume that they are capable and productive members of their departments who have been making good faith efforts to improve the lives of their fellow Americans? If so, then shouldn't the administration take a bit more than 30 days of careful analysis and deliberation before declaring their jobs wasteful and fraudulent?
Typically i would agree with the harsh tone, but this person is being clear about their position. Perhaps I sympathize since I may also have a habit of being too credulous.

So you do give them the benefit of the doubt because they tell you exactly what you want to hear.
What will you do when they break your benefits of the doubt. Wait for the next time for more of the same words?
I appreciate that nature, but not when the stakes are _this_ high.
Post your bank account number here. Give us the benefit of the doubt.
