Maybe its because I'm only 50 and haven't played the game for more than a month but what does it mean "leveling trusts to 80"?

The trust system was added in 5.0 for dungeons in the "Shadowbringers" expansion. As you're going through the Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quests you can use "Trusts", which are NPC companions like Alphinaud and Alisae, to go through said Shadowbringers dungeons. While you're going through the MSQ they will always be the level of the dungeon you're trying to run with them. However... after you beat the Shadowbringers MSQ, they all get de-leveled back to 71 and you have to level them back up again if you want to run higher level dungeons with them again. They also level slower than you so you're looking at a lot of hours if you want to level even just 3 of them back to 80.

Hope that explanation was short, yet thorough enough.
