but caved after a call with Trump

Prove that claim.

The truth is Trump himself did not lock down anything. He merely gave his blessing if states decided to lock down their states.

Did he also call Arkansas, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming, 8 states that never locked down their state?

Multiple sources show Trump called DeSantis in April 2020 after DeSantis was reluctant to shut down.

I never said Trump ordered lockdowns, he urged them publicly, citing Fauci.

Then Trump signed the CARES Act, the largest spending bill in US history ($2 trillion) that funded the lockdowns and closing of small business, resulting in the start of the inflation we still have today.

I finally found the truth:

DeSantis, a Republican, said in a press conference alongside Broward County Mayor Dale Holeness and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez in Doral that he was following President Trump’s recommendations to reopen the state.

So, that means he only went out of lockdown before Democrat governors did in blue states.
