Poor people in NYC don’t typically have cars or live in that part of Manhattan and there’s tons of public transportation options in that area. So, this is more like a tax on upper class people who refuse to ride the subway to pay for necessary upgrades to the subway and bus system. There’s even NJ Transit and the Long Island Railroad for the suburbs. (Not many NYC residents care what Staten Island thinks.)
Trump probably just hates it because it’s a progressive tax. But he left NYC and lives in Florida or his golf courses (and, occasionally, DC) so he doesn’t really get a say.
