There is something vastly appealing about faith coming from a child's lips. Is it the face or the voice , or the soul that directs these. I can only think of the child Jesus separated from his parents teaching the learned in the temple. They were amazed at his understanding and authority as he spoke only as God could.
2000 years of written records proves the exact opposite. I suggest reading St. Irenaeus "Against the Heresies." he was taught by St. Polycarp who was taught by St. john the beloved apostle. You will find the teaching, not the term, Trinity explicitly taught there and attributed to the lips of St. John himself. May Blessed Trinity grace your research.
Neither Irenaeus nor Polycarp was a Trinitarian, not by any orthodox definition of it anyways. But supposing for a minute that they were, that wouldn't change the fact that Jesus wasn't a Trinitarian. And if it's a choice between Jesus and some second century patristic writers, well it's not much of a choice is it?
Actually it makes all the difference in the world as Christ promised he would never abandon his Church. moreover it goes a long way as to why Jesus is of any significance at all. just saying Jesus, St. Polycarp & St. Ireneas weren't trinitarians doesn't make it fact. one needs evidence that you clearly don't have as we get most of our extra biblical support for the Trinity from these sources. I strongly suggest you actually read the texts before making blanket statements.

There is only one God and Father of all, Jesus never taught a Trinity.
