In all honesty it would be gridlock. There are some things he could do with executive orders, but most everything else has to go through the house and senate and they simply won't play along. Just read his website. He wants to remove all taxes on fuel, income and capital gains. He says he wants a0% income tax rate on all Americans. While that is a great idea, it would never happen because it would require such deep cuts in spending that the house and senate would never be able to make them considering they are it he pocket of those they would then have to cut off.

He also wants to outright outlaw abortion. Never going to happen and if he tries he is just going to build up walls. Most of his presidency would be spent pounding his head against a house and senate that were unwilling to play along. While eventually he might convince the people that he is correct and we need to vote out all the senators and congressmen who are blocking him, more likely all that would happen is they would make him out to be a crazy person and work hard to make him a one term president and nothing would get done. It would be like the Obama VS Republican gridlock only times 20 because both the dems and repubs would not want to work with him.
