It seems like Trump is making a prediction rather than stating a fact, very very strange use of the phrase "fact-checking" by Twitter

Baseless speculation about the integrity of US national elections is a perfectly reasonable thing to fact-check and tag as misleading.
I'm glad at least you agree that his tweet is speculation.
The real world doesn't work like children playing word games at recess. "It was technically just a prediction because I was talking about the future and therefore it's impossible to make any judgements about what I said" just doesn't play in the real world.
