Trump Declares Victory Over Congestion Pricing, Dubs Himself ‘King’

President Donald J. Trump’s administration has withdrawn federal approval for New York City’s congestion pricing plan, leading to debates over the implications for city infrastructure and governance. Trump celebrated this decision by referring to himself as ‘the king,’ a statement that has sparked discussions about executive power and monarchical imagery in American politics. Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has expressed her intent to challenge this decision in court, arguing it undermines state autonomy and the rule of law.
