No. His character flaws (laziness, narcissism, etc) precluded him from being successful in that role.
Even if those flaws were absent, I don't see how someone who is such an outsider to the political process would have been able to implement whatever the practical version of his campaign promises were.
He'd be dealing with caucuses of his own party that were very opposed to things like more spending on infrastructure and a generous healthcare plan that "takes care of everybody." He'd have no allies in Congress who could do the work of whipping support for those things.
Legislating and governing isn't easy and the idea that an outsider with no political experience could be good at it doesn't make any more sense than suggesting someone with no medical training can do a heart transplant. You actually do need politicians and career civil servants to do that stuff effectively.
