Actually, Brutus is a much more trustworthy person than Antony, as their behaviour throughout the play shows. But Antony wants, for his own personal purposes, to discredit Brutus. He does this with sarcasm, calling Brutus an "honourable man" in sarcastic fashion. And he alludes to the fact that Brutus and Caesar were great friends: "Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel". Brutus has already given his explanation of this in saying it was not that he loved Caesar less but that he loved Rome more, and Antony is trying to break this down by getting the crowd into a state of unthinking emotional reaction. This is always a good way to get crowds to do insane things, especially in a Shakespeare play, but also in real life.

In act iii of Julius Caesar how does Antony show the crowd that Brutus is not trustworthy?

In Act III of "Julius Caesar," Antony undermines Brutus's credibility by repeatedly referring to him as an "honorable man" while juxtaposing this praise with examples of Caesar's generosity and the injustices of his murder. He uses rhetorical questions to provoke doubt about Brutus's motives, suggesting that if Brutus truly loved Caesar, he would not have betrayed him. Antony also reveals Caesar's will, which bequeaths money and public parks to the citizens, further casting doubt on Brutus's claim that Caesar was ambitious. This masterful rhetoric sways the crowd and incites them against Brutus and the conspirators.
