President Trump recently dubbed himself 'the king' after triumphing over Manhattan's congestion pricing plan, declaring 'CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD' on Truth Social. This self-title has sparked criticism, particularly from New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who emphasized America's commitment to being a country of laws and not monarchy. Other officials, including those from Illinois and Virginia, echoed this sentiment, reinforcing that the U.S. does not have kings. This self-proclaimed title aligns with other controversial statements Trump has made about his presidency and governance style.
Trump bestowed on himself the monarchical moniker on Wednesday after proclaiming victory over New York's congestion pricing plan for Manhattan. Trump posted on Truth Social: CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD.
We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. She added that New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We sure as hell are not going to start now.
It's not the first move Trump has made in recent weeks to suggest that he's no normal President. Over the weekend, he posted a Napoleon-inspired statement suggesting he's above the law.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, also a Democrat, reiterated Beyer's words in his State of the State address, adding my oath is to the Constitution of our state and our nation.
