President Trump celebrated the Department of Transportation's decision to withdraw approval for New York City's congestion pricing toll program, proclaiming himself 'the king.' New York's congestion toll aimed to alleviate traffic, but faced backlash from New Jersey officials. In response, Governor Hochul fiercely opposed the DOT's actions, labeling them an attack on New York's independence and asserting the state would legally fight back against Trump's intervention. Hochul emphasized New Yorkers' resilience in struggles, highlighting the immediate legal steps taken by the MTA against the federal action.
New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years, and we sure as hell are not going to start now.
It feels like the commuters of our city and our region are now the roadkill on Donald Trump's revenge tour against New York.
