My default position to trust no politican regardless of what they say or what party they join has aged pretty well.

Many misunderstand trust.

"Firm belief in the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing; confidence or reliance."

Is it wise to trust a class of people that have a long track record of lying and deceiving those they claim to work for?

If you wanted to show your son or daughter an example of a person with character would you most likely point to a politician?

Is it wise to rely on a politician for anything important in your life?

You can like what a politician does sometimes but trusting them always seems like a fools errand to me. But that's me.
