>>Did Jesus trust Peter? Of course, Jesus told Peter to tend his sheep, feed his lambs, feed his sheep.<<

Didn’t He also say to Peter “get thee behind me Satan”?

Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Yeah. Right after He said this.....

Matthew 16:17-19 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Interesting that....
