I would be tempted to agree with you if I believed for a moment that Trump was going to be the sort of President to do hands-on, heavy policy lifting. But that's not him. Pence, Trump's cabinet and inner circle, and Congressional Republicans will handle the messy, boring stuff. So get ready for an avalanche of the GOP's "greatest hits" as well as scores of items from their legislative wish list before the mid-term elections.
Trump will be the pitchman for this upcoming shit fest, which is precisely what he's always been. It's the perfect marriage of his peculiar skill set, his narcissism, and his need to cement relations with his party -- all played out on the grandest stage of all. Resign? I doubt it.
As for impeachment, I suspect his tangled business affairs and generally loose sense of ethics will provide plenty of ammunition for some such action over time, but not while the GOP retains control over Congress. As long as Trump successfully sells their brand, they'll give him all the cover he'll need to weather the storm.
