Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Truly a wonderful verse that perfectly describes what later disciples believed about baptism!

Act 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

Act 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Act 19:6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

Matthew 1:18 [The Birth of Jesus Christ] This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

How does baptizing in the name of Jesus violate the instruction to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity?

Jesus is the 2nd person of that Trinity. That is why Mary IS the Mother of God, in that she is the mother of the incarnate 2nd person of the Trinity.
