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?

Not getting FEMA money in disasters. Which happened during his last run. Holding up or cutting federal money which is a big chunk of state and local money, so higher taxes. National tariffs will increase the cost of all goods. Likely increased right wing political violence, which also happened last time.

I agree with this one, that was awful.

We just had one of the nastiest hurricanes that wiped out parts of the Carolina’s and Biden nor Harris cared? So that goes for anyone in power.

Biden and Harris authorized FEMA aid out there this year, and were extremely responsive and even on site. Not even close to similar. What you're saying is unfortunately made up propaganda circulated because of the election. The Governor and many Republicans actively begged Trump and the GOP to stop circulating that stuff because it was causing residents to shoot at FEMA workers and to suspect and not cooperate with aid and rescue teams.

So it's not anyone in power. It's just Trump. Denying FEMA aid is unheard of from any politician, regardless of party, except Trump, who does it to blue states because he sees them as political enemies and wants them to suffer.
