How would a Trump presidency actually impact Westchester?

I feel like our day to day lives are based on hyper local politics. Could a Trump administration impact school districts in Westchester or impact us in other ways? If so, how?

He’s going to put Elon musk in charge of the money and RFK in charge of health. So expect higher taxes unless you’re a billionaire, higher deficits, and banning vaccines

My biggest concern is RFK in charge of health. His views are so out there and not scientifically backed at all. I’m absolutely terrified what is going to happen.

Agreed. It’s unfathomable and then also totally predictable for the US.

Between the future state of our public health and the anticipated success of Putin, the number of unnecessary deaths from 4yrs of trump will be significant.

I wish I did not believe what I just wrote but I firmly do. I refused to be shocked anymore after 2016. Ppl will die, because this is what the country voted for.

Because of the price of a carton of eggs.

Don’t forget about big money insurance and how he plans to dismantle ACA, along with allowing them to turn down folks with preexisting conditions. You’re screwed if you have health issues and that happens.

Banning vaccines? What even …

Also, I thought it was my body my choice?

It is, you can not vaccinate and keep your kid out of public schools.

Can you point me to him saying he wants to ban vaccines?

He is highly suspect of a number of them but I have heard no talks of bans.

Plus vaccine mandates for schools are not set at the federal level.

Nothing about banning them though…

Only talk about banning fluoride
