Yes. Because of this: Trump put the Governers in charge of the states.
Presidents don't put Governors in charge of anything. They can ask a Governor to take charge of something. But that's it.
Most people I've met who don't live in the US think that the US Governors function like governors in the Westminster system. They they're appointed by and act as representatives of the Head of Government, in our case the President, and act "on the advice" of the legislative system.
But that's not the case. It's 50 unique systems. Sure, there's a lot of similarities, but there's a tremendous amount of difference between them.
Like, in Texas, the Lt. Governor has more executive authority than the Governor. (yeah, it's nuts here).
But each state has its own legislative and executive system that functions independently of the federal government. Like the Governor of Texas can negotiate and sign a trade agreement with Australia.
