On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Trump intends to revoke federal approval of New York City’s congestion pricing program, fulfilling a campaign promise to reverse the policy that tolls drivers who enter Manhattan’s busiest streets to finance repairs to mass transit.
Wednesday’s social media post follows a controversial Valentine’s Day post that read, “Roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally and we’ll deport you.”
The “King” post sparked a flood of comments, with some urging the account to address issues like falling grocery prices, while others expressed surprise at the account’s tone.
Meanwhile, a number of supporters praised the post, echoing the sentiment of “long live Trump.”
Editor’s Note: It should be noted that during America’s struggle for independence, the 13 colonies rejected the sovereignty of the British monarch.
