Washington was the first to use state militias to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion. It has been common to use the state militias, later the National Guard, for foreign and domestic conflicts. Shortly after Fort Sumter, Lincoln called for 75,000 militia to suppress the rebellion in the cotton states. That call impelled the Upper Southern states to secede. Kentucky declared as neutral. Maryland was occupied fairly quickly, and the Ohio militia captured much of what became West Virginia.

So basically Trump can call out state national guards.

Past presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act 19 times, both with the request of the Governor of the affected state, and
without their request. Note that every one of those 19 previous invocations of the act, were due to violence or disorder in a single city or single state/territory. President Trump invoking the act due to NATION WIDE violence, looting, arson and depravity of civil rights is certainly lawful and warranted.
