I will ATTEMPT to give brief answers, yet I want to give thorough answers.
I just wanted it to be clear to the readers that you aren't a Christian and are giving your view on a Christian topic, while I am a Christian giving my view on a Christian topic.
As I explained, to the best of human knowledge and explanation, The Father is 100% God, as Jesus is 100% that same One God, as the Spirit is 100% that same One God.
God was not "IN" Jesus. God (The Son) became man.
God (The Father) did not become man.
God (The Spirit) did not become man.
Romans 8:1-7
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
There you go again with trying to understand a spiritual matter in a human way.
No. I do not call God "about 300% right now".
What I have written is exactly what I have written. Please do not draw any human conclusions (including a mathematical one) with what I have written.
Read my first post on this thread.
1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
How would you explain that: "The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Spirit is God. Not that these are three gods, but the One True God."?
Hello, Earth.
Jesus is not two things at once. He has two equal 100% full and complete natures: a Divine nature and a Human nature. It's the Hypostatic Union.
And YES it is possiblw with my God. ALL things are possible with my God. He can even do things that NO MAN can ever fully comprehend.
I care not for what is more reasonable. I care for the truth.
Jesus is ONE "entity".
He has two natures, however.
Hypostatic Union.

We are close to agreement.
Mary gave birth to Jesus, who was fully man, and IS fully God.
Immanuel: God with us.

No. It is not possible to multiply Jesus.
Nor is it possible to divide Jesus.
There have been, and continue to be, heresies which do attempt to divide Jesus, however.
I'm glad you asked.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, are Eternally the One God.
Jesus wasn't a man until he became one through Mary.

John 1:1-14
In the beginning was the Word [Jesus] , and the Word [Jesus]was with God, and the Word [Jesus]was God.
1:2
The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
1:4
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
1:6
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
1:8
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
1:9
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
1:11
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
1:13
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Hebrews 1:1-8
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he [The Father] hath appointed heir of all things, by whom [The Son] also he [The Father] made the worlds;
1:3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
1:4
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
1:5
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
1:6
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he [The Father] saith, And let all the angels of God worship him [Jesus].
1:7
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
1:8
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
As it says for this forum "Questions about Christianity", "This forum is for non-believers seeking to know more about Christianity."
The OP asked for an explanation of the Trinity and several Christians and non-Christians have replied.
And as you have asked me questions, I have given my replies to you.
Peace.

Thanks for giving your perspective with mine, obviously I don't agree a lot of times, not trying to be mean or disruptive with my perception of how it is, but when ideas clash
