Trump was impeached for trying to blackmail Zelenskyy so yeah, there's no way he would overcome his wounded pride to help Ukraine. Plus we know Trump was (is?) Putin's lapdog. And he prefers authoritarianism over democracy.
So yeah, the timeline would have been very different. You kind of wonder why Putin didn't seize the initiative under Trump's presidency, but then again I'm sure he believed in an easy victory regardless.
