Nothing.

Reality shows that Snit you sought outside help and a poster named
kaba responded with:

"I gather there are two questions here:

1) Is the trendline approriately fitted to that data?

2) Is the trendline useful in some way? " - kaba

Logical questions by kaba... and, of course, they highlight the 2 most
important reasons for even bothering to create a trend line at all.

Snit then dishonestly changed his claimed reason for creating his
trend line to a ridiculous reason:

"Not quite: the question was merely if the process of creating the
trend line was correct - did it follow the process of creating a
linear trend line that is supported by the build in "linear trend
line" properties of the program." - Snit

Anyone can see that when Snit abandoned the statistical goals for his
trend line he effectively killed his statistical argument.
