"When somebody tells you who they are, believe them."

No. Donald Trump told us he was a brilliant deal-maker, a stable genius, and a gifted billionaire.

A better idea is to do as Maya Angelou said: when somebody shows you what they are, over and over, believe them.

We could just amend it to be, "When somebody tells you who they are, believe them until they demonstrate otherwise."

rule 2: when someone tells you who they are, believe them
rule 1: trust but verify

When someone show and tells them believe you.
