Of course not. It is a patriotic duty to question our leaders and force them to prove the rightness of their statements, actions, and beliefs.

Imagine being forced to trust a government that wouldn't leave.
At least we have a choice. If we don't trust that our government leaders are doing a good job, they are voted out.
By the way, if you choose not to vote and let others make that choice for you, how can you ever question the validity/integrety of the person that gets voted in??

I never trusted Johnson, Nixon or Clinton. I thought Jimmy Carter was honest but naive, I still think he's naive and I'm beginning to distrust him as well.
Bush, the elder, broke his promise on "no new taxes" because he thought he could deal with the Ds. That brought us 8 years of what I consider the most venal and corrupt president in the 20th century.

To best answer your question lets let the words of one of our former leaders tell you whats best..............
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
-Teddy Roosevelt

No, trust is something you give to people based on your own personal judgement, no-one has the right to have it automatically.

Absolutely not. It's our right and duty to question the goverenment and demand that they do what's right for everyone.
