Trump did say in response to a reporter's question about what he will do to help the economy that the way to help was to beat the coronavirus. When we've done that, the economy will rebound to where it was and beyond. Don't worry. The checks are not socialism. They are an emergency measure. Hoards of waitresses and bartenders and others in the service economy suddenly and unexpectedly found themselves without work for who knows how long.

We don't want them all applying for unemployment at once.

That is a good point. Trump proposed the checks. He is a business man who has handled entities that were in trouble. The left always makes fun of his "failed businesses", but it looks like he is drawing from his experience with this to manage the economic element of this crisis.
