With a toe loop, you're supposed to have your back foot's pick leave the ice the same time as the front foot's heel leaves the ice. Trusova's heel leaves waaaay sooner, giving her time to rotate while still on the ice. It's right there in your own video.
I think Trusova has many fantastic qualities. But let's stop deluding ourselves that she has perfect jumping technique.
Some humility goes a long way. I think you got owned just there. The video shows them being almost identical.
In the same breath let's not also delude ourselves that every jump is wrong technique. She can have good technique on a toeloop and it doesn't mean suddenly all her other jumps are perfect technique. Jump technique catch-all is useless when there are 6 different types of jumps.
