President Donald Trump issued a post claiming “Long live the king,” the White House followed up with an image of him dressed as a king. His worshippers better start opening their eyes as this man is a bull in a China shop and just taking and doing as he pleases, even violating the Constitution with this claim in the face of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8.
First, Trump posted the following:
Here’s a look at the images posted.
The White House posted this!

Consider all the times that Trump has stated that the Constitution basically gives him carte blanche to do whatever he wants in spite of the fact that it does not.
This came as Trump cancelled federal approval for New York City’s congestion toll. Do I think tolls are a bad thing? They are definitely an inconvenience for sure, but this Is Federal Infrastructure Spending Unconstitutional? | JP.
Check out what the Father of the Constitution did when confronted with the issue of “infrastructure”.
First, The Irish Star reported:
President Donald Trump has reportedly called himself a “King” during his latest Truth Social post. The post comes as Trump proclaimed that the short-lived congestion pricing in New York City has been canceled.
“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD,” Trump, who has spent a staggering amount of time and money playing golf, proclaimed in the post. “Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”
Shortly after Trump made the post, Taylor Budowich, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Cabinet Secretary posted a picture of an AI-generated version of Trump in a crown, and regal-looking robes on X after he was called ‘fat and smelly’.
The highly unpopular initiative was reportedly in its death throws after the Trump administration pulled its support from the bill calling it “backwards and unfair.” It was reported by The New York Post that a letter sent to Kathy Hochul by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration had yanked its support.
“I share the president’s concerns about the impact to working class Americans who now have an additional financial burden to account for in their daily lives,” Duffy’s letter reportedly said. “Users of the highway network within the CBD [central business district] tolling area have already financed the construction and improvement of these highways through the payment of gas taxes and other taxes.”
“The recent imposition of this [congestion pricing program] upon residents, businesses, and commuters left highway users without any free highway alternative on which to travel within the relevant area,” he added. “Moreover, the revenues generated under this pilot program are directed toward the transit system as opposed to the highways. I do not believe that this is a fair deal.”
“It’s backwards and unfair,” Duffy added. The official also said that he believes the “imposition of tolls under the [congestion pricing program] appears to be driven primarily by the need to raise revenue for the Metropolitan Transit Authority system as opposed to the need to reduce congestion.”
“I recognize that preliminary project data published by the MTA reports a congestion reduction benefit, but the toll rate that is set … should not be driven primarily by revenue targets, particularly revenue targets that have nothing to do with the highway infrastructure,” he continued.
Duffy’s department will officially rescind the agreement, which charges drivers entering the Big Apple a whopping $9, at some point. The rescinding of the pricing is a major blow to the Democrat-led government while also a major victory for Trump.
Just after his inauguration in January, Trump vowed to end the program writing, “I will TERMINATE Congestion Pricing in my FIRST WEEK back in Office!!!”
New York City’s congestion pricing started on January 5 as officials attempted to “dramatically” reduce traffic and increase air quality. It was reported that drivers will be tolled to enter a new ‘Congestion Relief Zone’, with the amount they pay depending on their type of vehicle, the time of day and their method of payment. The Congestion Relief Zone includes local streets and avenues in Manhattan south of and including 60 Street, excluding the FDR Drive, West Side Highway/Route 9A, and the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel connections to West Street.
It was also reported that moments after the announcement, the MTA filed a federal suit aiming to stop Trump and his minions.
