A lot of cheaper devices still seem to be using micro-USB. Not sure about phones, but power banks, vapes, etc.
Ask not what your Trumble can do for you; ask what you can do for your Trumble.

Is your phone cord USB-C on both ends? If so, just get a charging cable with USB-A on one end and USB-C on the other, they're common as fuck. Or does the power bank not have normal USB ports for output or something?

The Micro USB cable is to charge the power bank, you are supposed to use your telephone USB charger cable to connect to the power bank ...

What type is the end of the cable that you normally plug into the wall block that came with your phone? I'm betting it's just A.
There's no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
It's "would've", "should've" and "could've".

Looking at the thing you linked, it has the Micro-USB port which is used to charge the power bank. Next to it is a normal USB port, which you would plug the USB cable that came with your phone into (you'd plug the end that normally goes into your PC or into your wall charger, into the power bank instead - note that it only fits one way, so rotate it 180 degrees if it looks like the right size but won't go in).

If this actually doesn't fit, can you share a photo of what your charging cable looks like?

EDIT: And to be clear, you do NOT use the cable that came with the power bank to charge your phone. You use that only to charge the power bank itself. You use the charging cable that came with your phone (or another one that you usually use to charge your phone).
Ask not what your Trumble can do for you; ask what you can do for your Trumble.

No, this would not work. The micro-USB port on the power bank is for charging the power bank itself only. What he needs is a cable with USB-A (ie: "normal" USB) on one end, and USB-C (or Lightning, if he has an iPhone) on the other end, which he would almost certianly have already unless he has some weird wall charger that doesn't have a detachable cable.
Ask not what your Trumble can do for you; ask what you can do for your Trumble.

Never had a need to know off the top of my head and with my ADHD remembering details on such a uninteresting and similar looking thing as USB type is difficult for me if not something I have really needed.

The micro USB port is to charge the Anker. The normal USB port is to charge whatever USB device you plug into it.

Your cable is USB-C on both ends. So your charger block is too.

You need a USB-A to USB-C cable. Do you have a Switch Pro Controller? Use its cable.
There's no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
It's "would've", "should've" and "could've".
