As a rule, presidents have stayed out of the amendatory process because Article V gives them no role.

Presidents who have dabbled in the amendatory process have done so behind the scenes. Lincoln actually engaged in bribery to procure the necessary congressional supermajorities to get the 13th Amendment past Congress and out to the states for ratification.

Trump could work behind the scenes if he so wished.
