The "Trinkets ARE the Elements" is as common misconcepts.

The Trinkets have no power of their own. They are just a conduit for the ACTUAL Elements...

...the Mane Six themselves.

Twilight Sparkle is the Element of Magic, Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter, Applejack is the Element of Honesty, Rarity is the Element of generosity, Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty and Fluttershy is the Element of Kindness.

Their power flows through them, inside of them. It surrounds them.

They don't need the Trinkets to use the power of the Elements. They ARE the power of the Elements.
