it is possible you have to use spehircal geometry some how

Actually the only way it would be possible is if you use Elliptic or Riemannian geometry, and would require a manifold. A representation of such a construct would be similar to drawing a 4 dimensional shape in 3 or even 2 dimensions.
Euclidian geometry doesn't allow triangles with a sum of all angles to be greater than 180 degrees.

The most 90 degree angles a triangle can have and still remain a triangle is 1. With two 90 degree angles, it has to become a rectangle or a square.

If all of the angles have to be the same measurement, you will have an equiangular triangle. Because the total degrees of a triangle add up to 180, the most that each angle could be is 60 degrees; 60+60+60=180.
Hope this is helpful.

As stated, the sum of the interior angles of a triange is 180 degrees (assuming Euclidian geometry).
Spherical geometry would not apply because the triangle is unique to planar (2-dimensional) shapes.
An equilateral triangle has three angles of 60 degrees ... the only triangle where all three angles are the same measure.

Yes, draw it on the surface of a sphere. This was one of Einstein's biggest breakthroughs: when he left 2 dimensional, Euclidean geometry behind.
Think of longitude and latitude lines on a globe. Use the equator as the base line. Now, I think if you use like the Prime Meridian and then like the line representing 90 degrees west (okay or east), you will have drawn three lines that intersect at 90 degree angles. And, as we all know any three sided figure is a triangle.

the angles of a triangle have to have a cumulative sum of 180... which is impossible with three 90 degree angles.

All the angles have to add up to 180. If they have 90 it'll make a square!

A polygon that has all of it's angles at 90 degrees is a square.

what about making a piramid 90+90+90 plus the top point at 90, that would equal 360 degrees right?

you cant. all three angles added togrther must equal 180 degrees. 90+90+90=270. it is impossible.
