**Federal Judge Halts Trump’s Efforts to Dismantle NYC Congestion Pricing Initiative: A Traffic Jam of Legal Shenanigans**
In a stunning turn of events that has left traffic cones and cab drivers alike cheering, a federal judge has put the brakes on former President Donald Trump’s attempts to dismantle New York City’s congestion pricing initiative. The initiative, which aims to charge drivers for entering the most congested parts of Manhattan, has been described by some as “a brilliant way to make rich people pay for their own traffic jams” and by others as “the reason I’m never driving into the city again.”
Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Ghost, who presided over the case from beyond the grave, stated, “I’ve seen a lot of nonsense in my time, but trying to stop a congestion pricing plan is like trying to stop a New Yorker from yelling at a pigeon. It’s just not going to happen.”
Trump, who was reportedly seen throwing a tantrum in his Mar-a-Lago golf cart, responded with a statement that read, “This is a witch hunt! I’m just trying to help the little guy—like my friend Tony ‘The Traffic King’ who runs a cab company. He’s a great guy, really. He once gave me a ride to the airport, and I tipped him in compliments!”
Meanwhile, NYC Mayor Eric Adams was spotted celebrating the ruling by doing a victory lap on a bicycle, declaring, “This is a win for all New Yorkers! Now we can finally charge tourists for the privilege of sitting in our traffic!”
As the city prepares to implement the congestion pricing plan, local residents are already gearing up for the inevitable chaos. “I can’t wait to pay to sit in traffic!” exclaimed Brooklyn resident and self-proclaimed traffic enthusiast, Linda “The Gridlock Guru” Johnson. “It’s like paying for a front-row seat to a Broadway show, except the show is just me honking my horn for three hours!”
In the end, it seems that while Trump may have lost this round, the real winners are the pigeons—who will continue to strut their stuff across the streets of Manhattan, completely unfazed by the chaos of human drivers.
