Trump has control over a significant follower base.  If Johnson had ignored
Trump's "request," all Trump would have to do is say "RINO" and that
follower base would have been all over Johnson, or any other Republican
that didn't follow the order.

Also, do not forget that the Trump family now controls the RNC
pursestrings, much like Hillary controlled the DNC pursestrings in 2016.

So is it a direct order?  No.
Does it carry the weight of an order?  Yes.
Could not following that order have voter and/or financial consequences?
Yes.

He pretty much said as much.
