He's encouraging anti-gubmint protestors when he IS the gubmint. He laid out guidelines for re-opening the nation that have yet to be met, yet he wants to egg on the outrage of people that want to disregard HIS guidelines.
To boot, he has the Devos family and other groups he's in deep with financing and organizing the protests while the pretend that they are organic. Lies and stupidity from terrible human beings.
To the last part, I think he's realized he's dismantled federal responses to the point where it's only an obstacle, they aren't providing any real relief. Hell, if anything they're hurting it by scooping up equipment and bailing out big companies while letting small employers wilt away.
So all he can do is stir up some anger aimed at local governments.
