"How am I supposed to know that I can trust you."

I am a little confused about the match of "how" and "suppose" here

The sentence is OK, but should end with a question mark. Rephrased:　By what method can I know....

Does that help?

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'

be supposed to do sth has the same meaning of must or should.
