Here is what I heard from a friend last night:
To manage your trust with friend or co-workers, you need to watch for when do you agree/disagree with the person, and whether the opinion you agree/disagree with turns out to be correct or not. Here is the four scenarios:

1. you agree, and it is correct – the trust goes up;
2. you agree, and it is wrong – the trust goes down;
3. you disagree, and it is correct – the trust goes down;
4. you disagree, and it is wrong – the trust goes down;

So according to this, your best course of action is to voice your support only when you truly believe the opinion is correct (or it can stand the trial of time). In all other situations you should keep quiet.
