"for that matter"

Here's a sentence:



His parents won’t trust him and for that matter, neither do I.

Here in this sentence, does "for that matter" mean "for the question of whether you trust him", or "because his parents won't trust him", or else?

Thank you in advance!

It is a fixed phrase: for that matter = as far as that is concerned; as for that: 'For that matter, you are no better qualified to judge than I'. In your sentence, it means 'as for trusting him'.
