MANHATTAN — Three tubes of the Lincoln Tunnel were closed to make way for Donald Trump’s motorcade during Friday rush hour, sources said.
The tubes were shut down for three minutes as the president-elect and his entourage drove from Manhattan into New Jersey, sources said.
Trump is expected to hold meetings with Mitt Romney in Trump’s private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, over the weekend, according to sources and a CBS report.
Commuters took to Twitter to complain about the extensive delays caused by the shutdown.

Fastest way to lose NY-NJ electorate is to shut down Lincoln Tunnel on a Friday afternoon at 5 pm for a motorcade. Helicopter anyone?

Trump is filled with REVENGE on NYC tonight and taking a page from Christie's playbook "Time for some traffic problems at Lincoln Tunnel."
