Donald Trump is receiving widespread backlash after he likened himself to a “king” on social media following his administration’s decision to rescind New York City’s congestion pricing program.
In response to Trump’s comments, Hochul issued a statement, saying: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king.”
She added: “Public transit is the lifeblood of New York City and critical to our economic future – as a New Yorker, like president Trump, knows very well.”.
In a separate address to reporters on Wednesday, Hochul said: “New York hasn’t labored under a king in over 250 years.
No matter what corrupt deal Donald Trump made with the Mayor, he isn’t king.
Meanwhile, David Hogg, vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee, wrote: “Republicans: Stop overreacting and calling Trump a king.
Literally the White House twitter account:” as he reposted a picture of the computer-generated magazine of Trump with the crown. »
