I liked the same phrase as Jennifer in particular.  Great food for thought and ideas for action.  Two things occured to me as I read this.  The first is that "misleading motves" can turn out to be misunderstood motives.  If we are not mindful of and
responsible for our interpretations we can feel mistrust that is not warranted.

The second is that 5 and 6 on your list are so very important.  Every conversation is an opportunity to build trust.  Mindfulness not just of our own motives and choice of actions but also how we are occurring is vital to keeping the dark side of politics at bay.
