I have tried to go Trundle top but I am having issues against heavy pokers such as Irelia, Olaf and Darius. I start with boots + 3 Health potions and then building Wriggle's Lantern and Hexdrinker, depending on the enemy team. I then follow up with Trinity Force. But in the laning phase, it is very difficult to sustain and to win the lane.
How do you win the lane as easy as possible as Trundle, the almighty troll?

You said you started with boots+3.
When playing versus heavy harassers, so like you mentioned, Irelia, Olaf, Darius etc., Cloth Armor + 5 pots will probably be a better start as you will sustain through the damage and will still use the item to build into Ninja Tabi/Wriggle's Lantern/other armor item later. That different starting item should ease you through the earlier levels so you manage to pick up some sustain.
With that in mind, versus the champions you mentioned, Trundle will have a hard time sustaining simply due to the level of harassment those champs can put out, as few champions can stand up to them.
I'd also argue that Frozen Mallet is a better buy on trundle than Trinity Force, simply because he has no heavy gapclosers and will need the slow to hang onto enemies. That's just my two cents. I'm not a huge Trundle player.
