YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNew York City’s elite have never shown much love for Donald Trump, turning their noses up at what they considered his tacky real estate developments, gauche reality television show and right-wing political movement. Now, he’s getting his revenge.
The president is reveling in his moves to assert control over the mayor’s office, the city’s transit system and federal prosecutors operating in lower Manhattan. His latest show of power — blocking a congestion pricing program for vehicles that had been in the works for years — quickly led to boasts on social media.
“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”
In case anyone missed his point, the White House press office followed up by sending out an image of Trump wearing a crown, with New York’s skyline in the background.
Wendy Schiller, professor of political science at Brown University, discusses how Congress as well as state and local lawmakers might be able to mitigate the fallout from what she calls an "earthquake in American politics." and Professor Schiller speaks with Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Radio.
