That didn't take long. Trump declares he's a "King" [1]

Trump killed congestion pricing in New York City. That’s hardly a surprise. Micromanaging traffic is not normally a presidential concern. But the thin-skinned Outer Borough boy has never gotten over his social rejection by the people who count in the city of his birth.
And he will do anything to get revenge.
The red-state rural rubes might think Trump is a consequential real estate developer. But the big boys and girls in the NYC property market know he is an also-ran.
And he will do anything to ‘prove’ he matters.
However, he elevated his latest temper tantrum to an existential threat by proclaiming: CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!
King? WTF?
Will he stop there? I doubt it. his use of “SAVED” offers a clue. In his mind his next career step seems to be promotion to Son of God. Or maybe he will just declare he is God.
Side note: Anyone who still believes Trump will leave office peacefully at the end of his term must explain what he means by the ‘King’ reference — beyond the obvious.
