Donald Trump's recent boast on Truth Social as the self-proclaimed "king" had the internet buzzing this week. This came shortly after his administration's move to scrap New York City's congestion pricing program, sparking a legal battle and strong reactions from officials.

In a celebratory post, Trump declared, "CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!" This statement was met with both praise and criticism, with administration figures like White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt showing support while Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized that the nation is not governed by a king.

The decision to revoke the congestion pricing plan, which aimed to ease traffic and generate revenue for the MTA, was defended by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as a correction to federal oversight concerns. The move triggered a lawsuit from the MTA against the administration.

In another bold move, Trump issued an executive order consolidating his authority over independent agencies, giving his administration control over interpreting federal laws. Critics raised concerns about overreach, with claims that this could lead to expansions of executive power. Nevertheless, The White House clarified that the order aims to ensure consistency in legal interpretations across agencies.

Insightful tweets and reactions online highlighted the potential implications of Trump's actions, sparking discussions on executive authority and interpretations of his rhetoric.
