Trump was named honorary N.J. State Police trooper in 2017. No word on whether that will change. Updated Jan 12, 2021; Not long after he became president, Donald Trump became an honorary New Jersey Trooper. Now at the end of his presidency, State Police deployed to the nation’s capital after Trump incited a mob attack that resulted in five deaths including an officer from New Jersey. Many law enforcement groups that supported the president before November’s election have condemned last week’s violence without specifically criticizing Trump. In contrast, organizations ranging from colleges to corporations to the PGA have cut ties with the president following Wednesday’s siege.
