When RD opened FL after 28 days, Trump threatened to pull federal funding from FL. Trump pushed the lockdowns for quite some time, and even insisted in a press conference that he had the power to do that. And he may not have had it directly, but as we saw with Biden when he spitefully pulled resources from FL for their monoclonal antibody centers, presidents hold the purse strings on resources they've received from the taxpayers in those states. Because RD was so smart about managing the state of FL, he was able to work around these fools because the state is not broke.
