trim view doesn't include bleeds

I'm sharing a pdf with a printer to print a book cover design I made. There are pieces that overlap the artboard so I usually just use the trim view option. But, the bleeds dont show in this view. Should I go through the laborious process of removing every piece that hangs over the artboard, or should I use a clipping mask over everything... thoughts?

 

Thanks for the help!

Looks correct that Trim view does no show bleed, because the bleed is supposed to be trimmed.

The printer is supposed to print the document with the bleed (and printer marks) I would not worry about things outside the artboard and outside the bleed area.
