It is possible that the two presidents are very similar and might have similarly productive presidencies. Both are somewhat megalomaniacal. Both are dealmakers. Both are less ideological and more power based. (Meaning power or in modern parlance "ratings" are an end in and of itself )
With LBJ, a Texas somewhat crazy former senator we ended up with the Civil Rights Act and the Great Society. Neither of which you would have expected from his earlier days. President Trump might surprise in the same way although with the Outrage Machine of cable news watching every move maybe not.
Of course LBJ also gave us the Vietnam war. Which most current sixtysomethings in the government dodged.
Anyway we all can have hope.
