What will the real GDP/capita of the USA be in 2024 if Donald Trump is reelected president?

What will the real GDP per capita of the United States be (in 2020 dollars) in 2024 if Donald Trump is elected president in the 2020 USA presidential election?

This question resolves to the real annual GDP per capita of the United States for 2024, according to FRED's Real gross domestic product per capita dataset (converted into 2019 USD, using FRED's delfator series).

If Donald Trump is not elected for any reason, question resolves ambiguously.

Note that the question resolves positively, even if Donald Trump does not serve the full duration of his term (for example if he never assumes office).

This is is part of a pair of questions along with a similar question about Joe Biden inspired by this post.

Metaculus help: Predicting

Predictions are the heart of Metaculus. Predicting is how you contribute to the wisdom of the crowd, and how you earn points and build up your personal Metaculus track record.

The basics of predicting are very simple: move the slider to best match the likelihood of the outcome, and click predict. You can predict as often as you want, and you're encouraged to change your mind when new information becomes available.

The displayed score is split into current points and total points. Current points show how much your prediction is worth now, whereas total points show the combined worth of all of your predictions over the lifetime of the question. The scoring details are available on the FAQ.

Note: this question resolved before its original close time. All of your predictions came after the resolution, so you did not gain (or lose) any points for it.

Community Stats

Metaculus help: Community Stats

Use the community stats to get a better sense of the community consensus (or lack thereof) for this question. Sometimes people have wildly different ideas about the likely outcomes, and sometimes people are in close agreement. There are even times when the community seems very certain of uncertainty, like when everyone agrees that event is only 50% likely to happen.

When you make a prediction, check the community stats to see where you land. If your prediction is an outlier, might there be something you're overlooking that others have seen? Or do you have special insight that others are lacking? Either way, it might be a good idea to join the discussion in the comments.
