well if we're taking late comers, then I would say that trinity is terrible on garen mostly because its so wastful gold-wise. your spin to win ONLY benefits from 30 ad and 10% crit chance for an IE's worth of gold, which is your primary sustained damage ability. If you are really commited to damage I would recommend three tank items, atmas, IE. while crits are a fickle stat, and the spellblade is guarenteed, enough of garen's kit synergizes with crit that IE is just a statistically better buy.

someone suggested black cleaver and I think that beats all other single dmg item options by far because you can apply stacks to multiple targets and let your TEAM do more damage (like a good tank), while still benefitting your own damage and getting cdr in the process (always nice on resourcless champs). health is always nice too.
