The answer is NO. He is not as smart as a 5th grader, or to be more precise, his ability to use his intellectual tools, is less developed in most ways, than a 5th grader.

The thing about 5th graders is that they lack experience and their reasoning skills are not fully developed because their brains are literally not fully developed.

Trump supposedly has a fully developed brain and this is how he is using it. So, the answer is pretty easy. Given normative developmental rates, those 5th graders will definitely be smarter than Trump when their brains fully develop. That is, if they stay away from Fox News and right wing radio.
