in german we say: was ich denk und tu, trau ich andern zu.
which translats to something like: what I think and do, I trust others to do
to me it was clear that the us is heading into authoriatism, that's why i thought his statement was interessting.
"so, we can't trust you either?" kinda way.
but yeah, we better pull very hard on those bootstraps.
In Dutch, we have the similar "zoals de award is, vertrouwt hij zijn gasten" (roughly "the way the innkeeper is, is how he trusts his guests (to be)").
I was interested in the German phrase, so I used an LLM to translate the meaning and see what we get. I landed on the following example scenario to convey what I think you mean when you use it in response to the article.
