The post featured a mock-up of a Time magazine cover depicting President Trump wearing a crown.
This declaration followed Trump’s decision to halt New York City’s congestion pricing programme, a toll initiative designed to reduce traffic and fund mass transit.
Since taking office, this is not the first controversial post from the official White House handle.
The White House has also sparked controversy by releasing an ASMR-style video depicting the deportation of undocumented immigrants.
The 41-second clip, shared on the official White House social media accounts, shows immigrants in shackles being prepared for a deportation flight from Seattle. The video, titled “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight,” has drawn criticism for its tone and content.
