Trigger should be, but is not, recursive, right? - sql

Question

New to triggers and trying to figure out why the nested IF at the end of this of this trigger doesn't seem to be recursive. What I would like is for it to trigger itself over and over again until it hits a #ProcessStatus of 4. It only goes to 1. Not really sure why, any suggestions?
