Trump claims to be all about states’ rights when it benefits him (overturning Roe v Wade) but then loves to impose rules and punish states that defy him. Anyone saying they support Trump because they believe in states’ rights is a liar or a fool.

That's been the definition of states rights all the way back to before the civil war, when southern states demanded the right to choose whether or not they could keep slavery while also demanding that free states had to return escaped slaves.
