I agree with both of you and that's not contradictory. States need to run their own states, but a national crisis means they need Federal support in doing so. If Cuba attacked Florida, how many people would be correct to say "It's Florida's problem"? Certainly the pandemic has impacted the economy of the entire USA, not just the blue or the red ones.
Trump FUBAR'd the COVID response. IMO it was out of greed since 1) he knew it would be bad 2) he tried to minimize the impact on his financial empire by hiding his head in the sand and hoping it would "go away in the spring" like the flu.
Even Trump claimed he was a "wartime President" but then he dodged the responsibility of actually being a wartime President.

When President Donald Trump declared a national emergency last month, as the coronavirus outbreak worsened, he deployed language familiar and perhaps oddly comforting to many Americans. Designating himself “a wartime president,” Trump likened the country’s COVID-19 response to the U.S.’s mobilization during World War II. “Every generation of Americans has been called to make shared sacrifices for the good of the nation,” Trump insisted.

Of course I know. More than you. The Federal Govt gave all the assistance asked for. States like NYC turned it down at first because Coumo hated Trump. Then he demanded all sorts of shit because he panicked. Then never used it. It in the meantime killing thousands upon thousands of citizens. Of course that did not stop him from accepting an Emmy for....killing his own citizens. Coumo is an incompetent idiot. He as the Governor of NY is the sole responsibility for the COVID failures in that state. Nobody else. No matter how much you try to twist that irrefutable fact.
Wrong, States were on their own;

In fact the "war general" himself told the States tole the States they were on their own;
"The federal government is not supposed to be out there buying amounts of items and then shipping, you know, we’re not a shipping clerk. As with testing, the governors are supposed to be doing it"

So in reality, you don't know squat, and your federalism bullshit is just an attempt to explain your Messiah's ineptitude and failure

If he did why in the hell were the States out there having to bid against themselves and foreign countries to get medical resources? Do you read what you post?
I don't think you understand what Federalism means, and you are definitely too drunk on the Kool Aid to recognize Trump's total failure with handling Covid, eight million Americans certainly did November third
Too bad trump can't hold himself to the same standard as President Truman.
"The wartime president Harry Truman used to keep a sign on his desk that said: “The buck stops here.” Trump, however, seems eager to wash his hands of the matter, if not actually wash his hands. “Yeah, no, I don’t take responsibility at all..."

If Trump has made a federal mandate Blue states would have revolted more than they did.Just like Biden will find out with Red states should he try. Blue states put politics over their own citizens lives. The Federal govt. offered all the assistance it could to every state. Democrats made it clear they would be making the medical decisions.
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
Why would anybody listen to him anyway. We are having karaoke party of about twenty. No masks all kinds of finger food etc. livin on the edge LOL
