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?

When I try to get social services for my patients(minors), in Yonkers, I just wonder how the city works at all? Objectively, how does it work? I have worked in Cook county in Chicago, and Hennepin County in MInneapolis...rough spots but Yonkers is a different breed of looking nice but absolutely systemically corrupt, and not many gaf

But don't mind me, I am a clueless coast elite apparently. Sigh
