Morphology
Both constituents contribute directly to the overall meaning: 'trump' (to proclaim/hype loudly) provides the action and 'out' adds the sense of making something public or outward. This verb+out composition is a common, productive pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the MWE means to announce or proclaim something in a showy way.
Etymology
Trump out may come from the image of a loud trumpet being blown to call everyone's attention to news. So to trump out something means 'to announce' it in a proud, showy way.
