Trump’s Democrat Friend Sues Him

New York City’s far-left officials are doubling down on a deeply unpopular toll plan—and President Trump is stepping in to stop it.

The Department of Transportation under NYC Mayor Eric Adams has officially joined a lawsuit alongside the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), targeting President Donald Trump’s push to end Manhattan’s congestion pricing.

The lawsuit, originally filed by the MTA in February, aims to protect a pricing scheme that would charge drivers entering central Manhattan during peak hours—an added burden on hardworking Americans and small business owners already stretched thin by inflation and high taxes.

“This is about protecting working-class drivers from another government cash grab,” one commuter told us.

🚗 What’s Really Behind the Congestion Pricing Plan?

Congestion pricing is being sold as a “climate initiative,” but critics argue it’s just another way for the government to dig deeper into the wallets of everyday Americans. The plan would impose tolls as high as $15 a day on drivers entering midtown Manhattan—penalizing workers, delivery drivers, and even retirees visiting their doctors.

Now, with the city’s Department of Transportation joining the legal fight, New York Democrats are once again putting progressive ideology ahead of common sense.

💥 Trump Fights Back: “We Will Stop It”

In February, President Trump told the New York Post that he would direct the U.S. Department of Transportation to withhold millions in federal funding from New York if the congestion pricing plan goes forward.

“It’s a tax on the middle class, and we’re going to kill it,” Trump said.

This decisive action echoes Trump’s broader efforts to drain the swamp and fight for the forgotten men and women of America—a message that continues to resonate nationwide.

🤔 Adams Caught in the Middle

Although the lawsuit is ongoing, Mayor Eric Adams has at times distanced himself from the Biden administration—especially over its lax immigration policies, which have overwhelmed New York City’s resources. According to The City, Adams reportedly told his team to quit criticizing President Trump and accept the reality that he won the election.

Two weeks ago, Adams toured the subway system with Trump-appointed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, highlighting shared concerns about rising crime and falling ridership underground.

“I want the MTA to function really well,” Duffy said. “That’s why the mayor and I are here together—to fix it.”

🚦What’s at Stake for Drivers?

If congestion pricing is allowed to move forward:

• Tolls could cost drivers up to $5,000 per year
• Small businesses may see delivery costs spike
• Middle-class commuters will be forced off the road
• Senior citizens and low-income workers may be priced out

Meanwhile, politicians continue to enjoy taxpayer-funded vehicles and security while pushing the burden onto you.

✅ Final Word: Trump Is Taking Action—And New Yorkers Should Pay Attention

As President Trump steps in to protect New Yorkers from aggressive, unnecessary tolls, city leaders continue clinging to a policy that’s out of touch with reality.

This isn’t about traffic—it’s about control, money, and big government overreach.
