<God can't make square circles>

A projection of a cylinder with the length being equal its diameter might appear to some as circular or square but be neither. The fact that I can envision one, means that at least to some degree, it is possible. There is no reason why a supreme being would be bound by our conventions and names. This goes back to the oldest type of question: Can an all powerful God create an object that He can't move?

I'd add to this:
Could God have a God, but not be aware of it? How would God prove to Himself that he was the absolute God, and not just part of a pantheon? What would be the consequence of God having a God? Would those Gods care about us or only their minions of lesser Gods?

None of these type of questions has a substantial logical resolution IMO. You might as well listen to me and my metaphysical rants. At least those are self-consitent.
