It’s not entirely up to the governors. Trump can force their hand with an executive order or a memo to the AG. Something like “It is ILLEGAL under the Constitution of the United States to restrict gathering, movement, or to mandate closure of business as a result of the virus”. If governors keep businesses closed then send in the NATIONAL GUARD to make sure they are allowed to re-open.

Eisenhower did the same thing in the 50s to open the schools. This is a civil rights issue much the same. Life and LIBERTY shall not be restricted.

I think this is wishful thinking. Trump is against a heavy handed, national approach to this, and after demurring on having a national lockdown, he is not going to turn around and insist on overruling states in how they choose to reopen.
