I added it for effect because Jewish law does not believe a Trinity can mean monotheism ............ Like Christians do.

Any question beginning with "Do Christians use Deception" would be answered with a "yes"
Note: the word "deception" can be interchanged with "ignorance"

The Trinity for one is not Polytheistic. And as a Christian I sure hope Christians do not use decption. If they do then they are not a true Christian. True Christians seek to walk in truth.
As a Christian I believe in Yweh, the same God as the Jews. Only, I believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah that was prophecied. Many Jews are still waiting for the Messiah. I also believe the Jews are God's chosen people and in the last days he will be gathering them back to himself from the nations.
I understand Yweh to be one God but three persons. The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

The word 'polytheistic' doesn't apply to the word 'Trinity' in the context of the Christian faith.
The Trinity of God does not make Him three separate Gods any more than your body, thoughts, and soul make you three people.
God has a special ability in that He can manifest Himself in any of His three forms any time He chooses. He can do it one at a time, two at a time, or all three together.
There is no deception. The Bible's Old Testament, which by the way is the Bible of the Jews, states within the first chapter, Genesis, that God is more than one part. He refers to Himself as Us, We, and Our.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
When we get to the New Testament we find out the name of the bodily form of God
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
He is Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Therefore we have God, the Father/Creator, Jesus, the Son/Savior, and God, the Holy Spirit/Comforter.
All three, all one.
No deception involved.

A triune God is God..
Catholics don't evangelize Jewish people as far as I know.
Catholics typically don't walk around and knock on people's doors. Our Mary statues are much too heavy to carry up and down the sidewalk.. We try to avoid hernias..

Isn't the term "Polytheistic Trinity" redundant?

Get real. You're just another atheist trying to start a fight.

No because we worship the same God.
