Madonna Criticizes Trump’s ‘King’ Remark After NYC Congestion Pricing Halt

The pop icon condemned President Trump’s self-referential 'king' declaration, questioning its appropriateness and sincerity.

Madonna denounced President Trump for calling himself 'the King' following his administration's decision to block New York City's congestion pricing plan.
The White House amplified Trump's statement with a social media post featuring an AI-generated image of him wearing a crown and the phrase 'Long Live the King.'
Madonna expressed her disapproval on social media, stating that the U.S. was founded to escape monarchic rule and adding, 'If this is a joke, I’m not laughing.'
Critics and supporters of Madonna debated her comments online, with some accusing her of hypocrisy due to her own 'Queen of Pop' moniker.
Trump’s administration has faced criticism for recent policies, including executive orders limiting LGBTQ rights and reinstating restrictions on transgender military service.
