trim() function not working in wordpress

I am making an edit form in wordpress. This is my code. My trim() function is not working.

<div class = "input-group">
    <label for = "business_meta_title"><?php _e('Meta Title', 'wcd');
?></label>
    <textarea type="text" name="business_meta_title" id="business_meta_title" class="form-control">
        <?php echo trim(get_field('business_meta_title', $deal_id)); ?>
    </textarea>
</div>

<div class="input-group">
    <label for="business_meta_description"><?php _e('Meta Description', 'wcd'); ?></label>
    <textarea type="text" name="business_meta_description" id="business_meta_description" class="form-control">
        <?php echo trim(get_field('business_meta_description', $deal_id)); ?>
    </textarea>
</div>

<div class="input-group">
    <label for="business_meta_keywords"><?php _e('Meta Keywords', 'wcd'); ?></label>
    <textarea type="text" name="business_meta_keywords" id="business_meta_keywords" class="form-control">
        <?php echo trim(get_field('business_meta_keywords', $deal_id)); ?>
    </textarea>
</div>

I am getting output like this.

enter image description here

Any thoughts? What should I do?

I suggest you two changes point which may solve your issue:
1. If you working with wordpress then please use wordpress provided wp_trim_words instead trim().

2. Remove spacing between value and <textarea> tag

wp_trim_words() function trims text to a certain number of words and returns the trimmed text.

Use without spaces between value in tag as:

<textarea type="text" name="business_meta_keywords" id="business_meta_keywords" class="form-control"><?php echo trim(get_field('business_meta_keywords', $deal_id)); ?></textarea>

Please re-write your textareas by having no spaces in them, trim works fine but you are adding the extra spaces after opening textarea tag in your HTML:

<div class = "input-group">
    <label for = "business_meta_title"><?php _e('Meta Title', 'wcd');
?></label>
    <textarea type="text" name="business_meta_title" id="business_meta_title" class="form-control"><?php echo trim(get_field('business_meta_title', $deal_id)); ?></textarea>
</div>

<div class="input-group">
    <label for="business_meta_description"><?php _e('Meta Description', 'wcd'); ?></label>
    <textarea type="text" name="business_meta_description" id="business_meta_description" class="form-control"><?php echo trim(get_field('business_meta_description', $deal_id)); ?></textarea>
</div>

<div class="input-group">
    <label for="business_meta_keywords"><?php _e('Meta Keywords', 'wcd'); ?></label>
    <textarea type="text" name="business_meta_keywords" id="business_meta_keywords" class="form-control"><?php echo trim(get_field('business_meta_keywords', $deal_id)); ?></textarea>
</div>
