No, history will reserve a much worse treatment for Trump than it did for Chamberlain.
You can say Chamberlain acted the way he acted to buy time, the UK wasn't anywhere prepared to face Germany until Churchill took power, it wasn't only a matter of stance but also of possibility. The USA certainly isn't in the same situation, he's actually doing the opposite: buying time not for itself, but for the modern equivalent of Fascist Italy.
