Can Matthew 21:14-16 be used as an example of Christ claiming to be God?

Yesterday I was watching the debate between Alex O'Connor and I believe David Wood, the debate was on if Christ affirmed the trinity, Alex claims that his divinity, is only in the gospel of John, because that's where he really males the huge claim, like using the divine I Am title (John 8:58) and saying that he and his father are one (John 10:30), but I was reading my bible and I came across Matthew 21:14-16, where the children are singing the praises of Jesus in the temple and the chief priests confront Jesus and ask him to renounce them, but instead of renouncing it, Jesus quotes from the Psalms (Psalms 8:1-2), which in its entire context, isn't a Messianic verse or a general verse, but it about children praising God, as an attempt to drown out his enemies, is Christ just defending the praises of the children or is signifying or at least indicating that he is God?
