Well there has also been a long story of abusing trust on the good people's side. For example on feminism (where I've unwillingly studied the topic), the feminist version of the story is broadcasted loudly and men who don't agree are fired – happens to both laymen and CEOs. It's one thing to want equal rights and opportunities for everyone, it's another thing to impose unfair advantages. To me, people's unbeatable trust for Trump's racism and sexism just shows people are fed up with that. To me, whether in US or Europe, people start rejecting "facts" because the centrist people take them hostage with "vote reasonably, and we'll shove more illegal immigration down your throats, more Europe, more women rights, more Muslims, etc". So people go up the chain of politics and reach back to journalism which allowed these politics to exist, namely every article titled "SCIENTISTS PROVE AGAIN THAT MEN ARE PAID 31% MORE THAN WOMEN!" where you had to dive deep in the text to notice that this wasn't for equal work. It's not that they trust Trump, it's that parties from left to right have entirely abused this trust to exhaustion, and journalism has badly participated.
