I can't for the life of me figure out how the T in TRUST got stamped this way. Everything looks clear and flat around the error, so it almost looks like it was stamped with two letters? Maybe a T and a crooked C? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What you have is a damaged coin, not an error.
It has taken a hit displacing the metal.
It is impossible to be stamped with two letters.

It has definitely took some damage! I didn't realize the metal could be "scooted" around like that, I figured it would just tear it off. Here are some more pics of the coin. Thanks for the quick replies!

Often we see incuse marks like this on coin found in a parking lot. If the coin was ran over with a car, the sand on the lot will make these incuse marks into the coin. This is not a mint error. It happened during it like after leaving the mint.

That is a nice close up you posted of that damaged 'T' which is of course damaged from circulation.
Also, coins are not 'stamped' they are struck, some folks say minted, but not stamped.
If you use our search box at the top and search for 'counter stamp' coins you will see what a 'stamped' coin will look like.
