New York governor Kathy Hochul has hit back at his congestion pricing order, writing on X: “Donald Trump isn't a ‘king’ and we won't let him use New Yorkers as roadkill on his revenge tour.
Sharing a fake Time magazine cover that altered the title to show Trump’s name, the caption read “long live the king” alongside an image of Trump smiling while wearing a crown.
Horror author Stephen King, another prominent Trump critic, appeared to agree with her, writing on X: “Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dips***!”.
The post was shared after Trump’s administration ordered New York to end congestion pricing, put in place to raise funds for Manhattan’s mass transit system.
This message was also shared by the official White House account, endorsing Trump’s apparent belief that the US president is incapable of breaking any law.
