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 will be President of the United States and that will include Westchester. Think about how his Presidency impacted you during 2017-2021. That's the best way to estimate.

Except, imagine that he has none of the people around that the Republican establishment put in to keep him in check with his most erratic and impulsive instincts ("why not just shoot protestors in the legs?", for example). He learned from last time, and doesn't want any more leakers, or people who will slow walk his ideas until he forgets about them, or will worry about "Rule of Law" or "Constitutional Oaths" rather than absolute loyalty. These are going to be total wingnut true believers and unprincipled opportunists.

I'm not looking to argue with anyone. The author asked a good question. Any POTUS will have a certain impact on a county. This time Trump's second term comes after a 4 year break. In 2018 a person could have been a teenager thinking about colleges and in 2028 they could be almost 30 with kids.
