Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.
Nope, he's not, but he didn't like paper money and he directly violated a Supreme Court ruling for gold. The only thing Jackson believed in was Jackson. Unlike Jefferson (I'll use TJ because I like his house) he had few redeeming qualities and almost no acknowledgement of his failings and hypocrisy. Jackson is one of the worst presidents ever.
