I didn't understand your question. What are you asking? You yourself don't appear to understand the Trinity at all. And I don't mean to be condescending. The teaching is like one of those bills the House votes for but it isn't sure what's in it.
As stated, the teaching doesn't appear in the OT, which is why Jews have never believed it. It's nowhere explicitly stated in the NT, or anywhere until centuries later.
It's my belief the Trinity is a hoax, and like evolution, People are very emotionally invested in it. The evidence for it is thin and only convincing if you already believe it and WANT to believe it. Those are traits common to all social and religious hoaxes.
"You have to read between the lines" is a statement often heard when social or religious hoaxes are questioned.
After the apostles, paganism crept into the Church, the same as it did with Israel in Moses' absence. That's where the traditions associated with Christmas and Easter came from, mixing Christianity with paganism. Any encyclopedia will tell you this.
Greco-Roman culture was infested with trinities of gods. These teachings were gradually merged with the NT.
The Trinity has been ingrained in the Church for 1600 years. The Reformation cast off many non-Biblical teachings, but the Trinity, Christmas, and Easter traditions remain.
Such traditions are stumbling blocks, not only to Jews and Muslims, but also atheists who view eggs and rabbits as mythical nonsense.
But the Bible is history. And those traditions only weaken its authority in people's eyes. It's the purpose of my books to "...destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God." (2nd Corinthians 10:4, 5)

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
