Because the trinity is still three Persons, even though one of them (the second Person) is now permanently incarnate. Even in His incarnate state (and now with His glorified body, of course), Jesus is still completely God, having the same exact essence as God as the other two Persons. Becoming man did not take away one whit from his essence as God. He is always the God-man, never the Man-God.
