"the Trinkets have no power of their own"


 * Then how was Sunset able to harness their power in Equestria Girls? How would ANYONE harness their power if they don't have any?

"why didn't the Trinkets work back in "The Return of Harmony"?"


 * Because the Mane Six's connection to them was severed by Discord's magic.

"If the Trinkets are the Elements, doesn't that invalidate Sunset's speech in "Friendship Games" about how the true magic of the Elements comes from within?"


 * It's been established that magic in the human world is unpredictable and doesn't work the same way it does in Equestria.

"the Trinkets are not sentient. Even if they have power, they are inanimate objects."


 * Correct, but what does that have to do with anything?
