I could talk about theory all day. It's a little harder to do it on the computer versus having a piano in front of us!
I don't know if you play jazz at all, but this book is an incredible practice resource. Also, do you know all your major and minor scales?
You need a good foundation before you start to learn jazz on the trumpet. Once you've watched enough online vids this is a great book series for beginners https://www.amazon.com/Mitchell-Trumpet-Book-1-DVD/dp/1585607193/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509540770&sr=8-1&keywords=mitchell+on+trumpet. Once you feel you have some base this is a great book series to learn jazz on the trumpet https://www.amazon.com/Play-Jazz-Improvise-Vol-Book/dp/1562241222/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1509542117&sr=1-1&keywords=jamey+aebersold. Someone has created lesson plans around this book https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32146. I highly recommend lessons. Trumpet is a very physical instrument so you can spend weeks on how you should position your mouth, breathing, etc. before you even start playing it properly.
