No, Nietzsche wasn't systematic, so the details don't matter since they express moods or streams of consciousness more than anything else. But reconstructing the main ideas, I think Nietzsche would have been impressed by Trump's achievements, assuming Trump doesn't lie to himself. If Trump lives according to fantasies that delude even him, he wouldn't be Nietzschean. But if he sublimates the harsh natural fact that there are only winners and losers, by creating value systems such as MAGA, he'd be an Ubermensch.
