The Trump administration will implement a very large direct financial support or stimulus program (of the type described: multi-trillion-dollar loans or stipends to individuals and small businesses) in order to protect the economy and thereby improve Trump’s 2020 reelection prospects.
100%. Yeah, 100% certainty that Trump will do something like this because he wants to save his presidency.
Explanation

Evidence shows that shortly after the March 15, 2020 podcast, the Trump administration did exactly what was described: implemented a multi‑trillion‑dollar stimulus with direct support to individuals and small businesses.

  • On March 27, 2020, President Donald Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act into law, described by multiple sources as a roughly $2.2 trillion economic stimulus package to provide relief to the U.S. economy and American people during COVID‑19. (energy.gov)
  • The CARES Act included $300 billion in one‑time cash payments to individuals (e.g., $1,200 per eligible adult, more for families) and hundreds of billions in support for small businesses, notably through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) – forgivable loans designed to keep workers on payroll.

  • Official fact sheets from the Trump White House characterized this as an “unprecedented relief package” exceeding $2 trillion, explicitly framed as providing economic relief and bolstering the economy by giving small businesses and workers the assistance they need to survive. (trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov)

The prediction’s concrete, testable claim was that the Trump administration would launch a very large, direct financial support/stimulus program of multi‑trillion scale, with loans or stipends to individuals and small businesses to protect the economy (with the political goal of helping his reelection). The CARES Act matches these features almost exactly: scale (≈$2.2T), timing (immediately after the prediction), and structure (direct payments plus massive small‑business lending/forgiveness).

While Trump’s motivation (“because he wants to save his presidency”) cannot be perfectly verified from public records, the observable policy outcome he was said to be certain about clearly occurred. Therefore, the prediction is best judged as right.
