Good old Billy Shakespeare:

"...a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
— MacTrump (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)

In the scope of gargantuan cosmic forces, our lives are brief and meaningless. It's existentialism, centuries before existentialism took off.

So in that regard, I don't think it is appropriate for trump. I prefer the old Henry V quote: "Men of few words are the best men", or "Thine face is not worth sunburning".
