Ok, that is like quarks (the three persons), put together by gluons (the divine part). And your God would be like a proton. This is really the closest analogy I can think of.
Still, even if quarks cannot be separated (since the attraction force increases with distance), we still identify them as three different fundamental particles. And the proton is not considered a fundamental particle.
So, it looks like God is not fundamental, either, since it is reducible to sub-constituents. Did I get that right?
But if that is the case, what does it mean to say "Jesus is God", like most trinitarians proclaim? Makes no sense. It would be like saying: the "up" quark is "proton".
Or, in your analogy of those siamese kids: "kid 1 is siamese twins".

you have a good point. I also think the offical trinity docterine contradict itself in this matter.
It makes more sence to they say "Jesus is a part of God"."The Holy spirit is another part of God" and that "Jesus is not the same part of God as the holy spirit".
I don't know why christians do not change it. If they had changed it I think all people (both christians and non-christians) will understand the offical trinity better.
