You can't trust someone less nor can you trust them a little.
You either trust them or you don't.
There aren't shades of trust.
If someone is little trust worthy, it's only fair to say via logic, they they are without trust.
If someone loses ones trust, are they a little trust worthy? Or less trust worthy? It doesn't make sense. One can't trust them.
If you want to measure them in degrees, then you can try this: they steal something, are they a little trust worthy? If they lie to you about something they stole or something, does that make them still trust worthy to a degree? No, they no longer possess the ability of trust.
So to remit: either a person is trust worthy or they aren't. There isn't such a thing as a trusting them a little or them being less trust worthy.
