I mean, what if Oregon ordered its own National Guard not to let the Texas National Guard in?

I don't think anyone would escalate like that, but how would that go down?

Surprisingly Trump did actually mention OBL and predicted a future terrorist attack in that 2000 book. In separate chapters

That's not exactly a feat of prognostication, as the World Trade Center had already been bombed in 1993.

He enjoyed having nyc’s tallest building. He knew OBL. 
ipso facto he funded 9/11.

Here’s the book’s single mention of bin Laden, in a section criticizing US foreign policy: “Instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flash points, standoffs, and hot spots. We’re not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We’re playing tournament chess – one master against many rivals. One day we’re all assured that Iraq is under control, the UN inspectors have done their work, everything’s fine, not to worry. The next day the bombing begins. One day we’re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it’s on to a new enemy and new crisis.”

That is clearly not any advice to anyone about bin Laden. And it contains an acknowledgment that bin Laden had already been targeted by then-President Bill Clinton (after the 1998 terror attacks on US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya).
