Existence of the trinity isn't something that all can believe that truly exist holding unto the fact that their is only one God. However, they're not wrong. The Bible didn't specifically proved the existence of the Trinity in any of it's passages nor did God said that he has two other Gods, Absurd isn't it?. Well, being that it isn't stated specifically in a passage in the bible doesn't mean that the holy Trinity doesn't exist. Mind you, the Holy Spirit isn't a person but rather a spirit, literally speaking the Holy Spirit is a spirit of God.
•(Genesis 1: 26) "Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
•(Genesis 3:22) “And the LORD God said, ‘The man has now become like one of us."
People likely use those two verses above to theorise that there are more than one God, because of God referring himself in the plural form "we" "us" all though this isn't the only verses in the Bible that God referred himself as the Plural, there are over 1,500 verses that he referred himself as the plural.
So one will ask this "who was God referring to when he made use of US (Let us create man in our own image and likeness) ?
Answer: He was referring to his heavenly host which includes the angels and all other heavenly beings
