'Trust', being a general feeling rather than a single abstract object, would be followed by "in".
Words like 'propensity', on the other hand, are singular abstract nouns, as in: "He has a propensity for gardening."
The expression 'trust for' changes the meaning. There the word trust is taken to mean:
"...property interest held by one person for the benefit of another" - See Merriam-Webster trust entry 3a
