Once Trump and his team made a statement about "If only people could see what's in his heart." Or something like that well aren't his words/actions the only true glimpse we as people have as we cannot actually see people's thoughts and motives?
I'd say words do matter, however, what matters more is how you perceive what's being said and that is where the problem lies. Whatever Trump says is going to be filtered by our perceptions and we will either perceive it to be good, bad, or take a neutral stance on it.
You mentioned that we can't actually see Trump's thoughts and motives, but the problem that a lot of Trump haters have is that they act like they do know exactly what Trumps thoughts and motives are. You see it with everything he says and everything he does. "Trump said/did such and such because (insert narrative here)".
So yes I think words matter, but how we perceive them matters more.
