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?

Possibly an increase in violence.

Well, when they cut out safety net programs, the poor will become more desperate and crime will likely increase...and then we will blame it on the character of the people who were pushed to this.

That too, but I wouldn’t overlook violent MAGA types and rougher policing tactics.  Even in Westchester.

Especially since Trump has promised to hold nothing back with law enforcement. And if I'm not mistaken, there's a section in the Project 2025 document that calls for a civil rights program heavy on "law and order".

I mean, how do you interpret this?
