Yes, this is a state's issue.  However, when innocents or being harmed and/or their businesses destroyed and the state's governors refuse to protect, then it becomes Trump's duty to protect the citizens of this country.  Insurrection Act -- both Kennedy and Johnson used it -- in fact Johnson used it numerous times.
Any time a citizen's civil rights are being violated (and many of them are having their crs violated), the fed. gov. can/should step in.
Eisenhower did in it Arkansas in 1957 when the city leaders and state gov. didn't want to do anything to desegregate the schools.
The notion that Trump has to be invited in by the state's leaders (mayors, govs.) is a load of hooey.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

With as much of a deal as they've made of coronavirus, mass gatherings such as this are in and of themselves a deadly threat and, if they are serious, should be handled accordingly.
