Trinitarian confusion

 Trinitarians say on one hand that God is the Father and Jesus is the Son of God but then they say Jesus is God or they call Jesus ‘God the Son’. Do they mean the Son is the Father since they say God is the Father and the Son is God? I’m guessing that isn’t what they mean. But do they even know what they mean? They seem to be using ‘God’ in two different ways (sometimes even in the same sentence): ‘God’ as in the One True God; Then ‘God’ as in divine. Why not use two different terms - one for each meaning? Writing ‘GOD’ for the Father and ‘God’ for the Son: Is that just to confuse things, or to make it look not too bad when they boldly assert “Jesus is God”? Clarity would be better served by writing ‘God’ for the Father and ‘divine’ in describing the Son. Is the aim to cause confusion? Why are Trinitarians so hell-bent on confusing everyone then claiming the author of it is God? Do they want people to be confused? Is it deliberate obfuscation? Is it to trip up those who are seeking God as newbies? Is it spite? Is it to try to foster misunderstanding and call it heresy? People need to believe the truth or else they perish. Why then put a stumbling block in their way? Jealousy? Wanting to be first to get understanding of the truth and therefore to trip up the competition to hinder them?
