Abstract: We study the knot invariant called trunk, as defined by Ozawa, and the relation of the trunk of a satellite knot with the trunk of its companion knot. Our first result is $mtrunk(K)geqncdotmtrunk(J)$ where $mtrunk(cdot)$ denotes the trunk of a knot, $K$ is a satellite knot with companion $J$, and $n$ is the winding number of $K$. To upgrade winding number to wrapping number, which we denote by $m$, we must include an extra factor of $frac12$ in our second result $mtrunk(K)>frac12mcdotmtrunk(J)$ since $mgeqn$. We also discuss generalizations of the second result.
