Any possibility of Trump moving to the center now that he's won?

First off, I've known since May that I would be unhappy with the outcome of this election. I don't like Hillary, and I don't like Trump. I voted for a 3rd party in protest just as I said I would.

This is a longshot, but my hope now is that Trump grows out of his adolescent style. It won him the election, but its no way to govern. His victory speech seemed to be alluding to some growth. Here is what I would like Trump to do shortly after he is inaugurated if not sooner, which would show some real growth:

Stand up and say he is still going to build that wall, but Mexico will not pay for it. It was just political locker room talk. Then outline how he actually intends to do it, and ask Mexico to cooperate.

Tell America that while he believes Hillary acted poorly with regard to her e-mail server, he will not prosecute and thank her again for her service to the country.

Tell the world he is sorry for mistreating women. Apologize to the women who were groped or worse. Acknowledge that exposure of his bad behavior has led him to change and that never again will America be embarrassed by his philandering.

Start paying taxes again and be transparent with his filings.

Acknowledge that Obamacare isn't terrible, but needs some fixing to be something good.

Acknowledge Global Warming is not a hoax (more political locker room talk) and carefully consider how it can be addressed in a way that benefits the economy.

This is a start to how Trump could actually be a good President and possibly even a good human being. Could it happen? Probably not, Trump really likes being Trump and will have at least 2 years with a clear field at the top levels of government.
