Once Trump is re-elected, he should sign an executive order proclaiming:
COVID vaccine is free, but will not be forced on you.
The pandemic is over and all lockdown mandates are hence forth illegal. Taxes and what not go back to normal, so if your not open, prepare to be foreclosed.
Governors and mayors attempting to maintain the lockdowns will be seen as being in rebellion against the federal government and will be forcibly removed by the state national guard.
Big doubt. Trump needed to be a big boy while everyone else was screaming and crying like toddlers and pulled the plug. If the states think that things really are that bad they can fund their kabuki theater on their own without the knowledge the Federal largesse will be there to bail them out
I like the way you think. Small point to add. Each state's "National" Guard is under the command of the Governor. So either the Lt. Gov. would have to be on board with declaring the Gov unfit, or GEOTUS would have to use federal forces, which can't be active military, unless martial law is declared. So that leaves federal LE.
Once Trump is re-elected, he should sign an executive order proclaiming:
He could have ended this months ago by just ending the federal state of emergency.
Unfortunately that results in terrible optics.
“TRUMP IS FORCING US TO RISK OUR LIVES!!!!”
Now people are sick of it and he won’t have to worry about optics anymore after his re-election.

He can take control of the national guard whenever he wants. That’s what Eisenhower did for Little Rock.
