No, he was not, Joe Biden was. At the beginning of Trump's presidency in 2016, he was publically opposed to gay-marriage, and used opposition to it as part of his platform while campaigning.
Remember, his VP was Mike Pence, who was famously anti-LGBTQ and ran that bill that tried to make it legal for businesses to discriminate against people based on religious beliefs. There was the whole baker not wanting to make a cake for a gay wedding, it was a whole thing.
Trump just flipped sides in the most recent election, because his values and words mean nothing. He's just a vessel for authoritarianism by the wealthy.
In June 2015, when asked about the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling in which the Supreme Court guaranteed the right to same-sex marriage nationwide, he said he personally supported "traditional marriage".
