Depends on what you mean by "trust." A public company has more accountability in various ways than a private one.

"Public" only adds accountability benefits for protecting public investors to ensure they're not robbed. There's little more accountability benefiting any other outsider.

That’s interesting. I’ve always figured it’s the opposite, since a public company is beholden to fiduciary duty. Would you like to elaborate?
