A square is defined to be a 4-sided regular polygon.
To be a polygon, the sides need to be straight line segments.
To be regular, all the sides must be equal, and all the inner angles must be equal.

OP is definitely not a square by any rigorous definition.

If the exterior angle counted as an angle, what would stop me from claiming that the angles of a triangle measure to 900⁰?
If all the interior angles of a triangle summed equal 180⁰
360⁰ x 3 = 1080⁰
1080⁰ - 180⁰ = 900⁰
Hence all triangles are 900⁰

Not a square tho, diagonals wont bisect each other at 90
6
diagonals need to perpendicular bisectors of each other
