No. The US Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen of the United States. It also requires a president to be at least 35 years old and 14 years a resident of this country. So not only could a British citizen not be president, but even a British citizen who gave up British citizenship and became a naturalized US citizen cannot be president.

Not unless they become a citizen of the USA - you can't have a person who isn't a citizen of the country run the country. That just doesn't make sense. So you have to live in the USA to be the president of the USA. If you live in Germany and want to be president, try running for the president of Germany. You would probably have a way higher chance of achieving that before you became the USA president.
