Hey there Aeagles,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re repeatedly getting an alert from your iPhone to trust your computer, even after trusting. I’ll be happy to help with this.
Disconnect your iPhone from the computer and restart both devices:
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Connect your iPhone and computer using a different USB port and cable if possible. Trust the computer if prompted again and see if this helps.
Are you using a Personal Hotspot with your computer and iPhone? If so, turn the Personal Hotspot off and see if the issue continues.
If that doesn’t resolve this, go through the steps under ‘Get help’ from this article:
About the 'Trust This Computer' alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Let me know if this works.

Thank you very much! This worked! It was a big pain to have to trust the computer multiple times. I had tried turning of the computer and also the phone but not the hot spot and I had used the same cable. So far so good!
This worked for a while but now I'm getting the same problem again. I did restart both my computer and my iPhone and it did not fix it this time. Every time I connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro I have to "trust" it again and use my passcode. It's a real pain.
Thanks, Andrea
Oh, I just re-read this and turned off my personal hotspot. That stopped it. Yikes. Strange bug.
