Let’s peel back the racial component of it for a second: He is saying that he wants states to deal with their problems themselves

No, he was saying, in effect, that the states should deal with the problems that were their responsibilities. And he certainly did help them with a lot of the problems they were responsible for. The notion that he left it all to the states is way off.
He did a whole lot and was criticized for not doing it soon enough or well enough, but the states were way behind and derelict in their responsibilities. Without what he did, they might still be in the primary stage of responding to the virus.

but then says he is going to send in the military regardless of state support to meddle in municipal law and order enforcement.

It would be responsible and show leadership by protecting the citizens when the governors failed to do so. That would not be meddling, it would be getting the job done.

Where was the offer to send in the military and all the resources of the federal government when Covid was ravaging states from coast to coast and governors were begging him to help?

What are you talking about? What resources did he not send? He provided most of the medical equipment that the states should have had in stock. He replenished the depleted federal stock that the previous administration let get depleted without restocking. He had the military build facilities to house an expected overflow of patients in New York, the epicenter in the country. He provided a military ship to the Port of New York to house more. Cuomo put COVID patients in nursing homes and didn't use up the beds Trump provided. He got private industry to manufacture supplies that were not on the market. He removed some FDA restrictions in order to fast track the production of a virus and requested as well as aided drug companies to try to produce it possibly toward the end of the year or sooner.

Use the brain you were given to realize that he thinks he is playing 3D chess but everyone is just watching him play checkers.

"Everyone" does not see it the way you do.

Many things can be true at the same time.

Right.
