Truckers for Trump will boycott driving to New York City after $355M fraud ruling

A group of truck drivers who support former president Donald Trump have announced that they will not be driving to New York City to express their disappointment with the civil fraud judgment that fined Trump more than $350 million.

This all comes in response to Trump being barred from operating his business in New York for three years and being found liable for more than $350 million in damages in the civil fraud case brought against him, his family and the Trump Organization by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

New York Judge Arthur Engoron handed down his ruling Friday after a months-long trial beginning in October and stemming from James' lawsuit alleging the former president inflated his assets and committed fraud."

"I'm just one of the many millions of Truckers who believe in God and love this Country," a trucker known as "Chicago Ray" wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "I stand with Trump bc Trump stands with me. Truckers for Trump ain't just a slogan, it's real," he wrote.

Chicago Ray took to X on Feb. 16 when the ruling came down, calling on fellow truckers to boycott taking shipments to New York City.

"I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the past hour, and I’ve talked to about 10 drivers," Ray wrote. "I don’t know how far across the country this is or how many truckers are going to start denying loads going to New York City, but I’ll tell you what — you f--- around and find out," he said.

The truck driver continued to issue a warning, saying that Trump needs to be left alone and that the New York City fraud investigation against him amounted to "election interference."

"Thank you for being a true Patriot! If all of us patriots stand up, we will make a difference. We have to push back against the ones trying to purposely destroy our country," a user commented on the post.

"Great, I hope all truckers refuse to go to New York! Enough is enough and our actions matter," another user wrote.

Chicago Ray is not the only one who has spoken out in support of Trump and opposition to the civil fraud ruling.

Elena Cardone, the wife of wealthy real estate investor Grant Cardone, created a GoFundMe page called "Stand with Trump; Fund the $355M Unjust Judgment." Her husband explained on X that "100% of funds will be forwarded to the Trump organization for his defense of this "ridiculous judgment."

Cardone wrote, "I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York."

"The recent legal battles he faces are not just an attack on him, but an attack on the very ideals of fairness and due process that every American deserves," Cardone stated.

Since launching the fundraiser, it has already taken in nearly $310,000."


The whole thing and pretty much any charge or Indictment against this man is so fucking frivolous that anyone with the God given sense knows it's not because he broke any law it's because the Left, the Biden Administration, Liberals simply do not, DO NOT want this man to run and be on the Ballot and beat Joe Biden is all this boils down to because any Fraud aside from the Democrats and Trump would beat him in a landslide.. Not only that, when are we going to see if Biden accepts Trump's challenge to a debate, one on one without Biden slobbering all over himself??

TRUMP 2024

Oh no!

How will NYC ever survive?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

reply

Without supplies coming into the city? Ummm, that isn't sustainable. Do you not remember 2020/2021?

reply

Perhaps instead of laughing, you might take this a little serious because no supplies into NYC means you will not be sustainable??

reply

A few truckers refusing to their jobs mean nothing. I hope they all get fired.

What happens when a "few" turns into a "few hundred"?

reply

Perhaps you should put me on ignore like you said you were going to!

reply

Good, everyone knows that ruling was nothing but more election interference.

reply

I hope everyone of these truckers are fired for not doing their jobs. All 10 of them! More idiots ruining their lives by worshiping Trump. Stupidity cannot be fixed.

reply

But when libtards put their politics ahead of their professional responsibilities, that's different... because... reasons....


lol.

reply

"All 10 of them!"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

10 will turn to 20. 20 will turn to 30.

Every day more and more migrants enter the city....eventually there will not be enough supplies for everyone.

You don't know much about truckers and trucking in general if you think what you are proposing is such an easy task to accomplish. Who is going to drive the trucks? The dock workers? LMAO. You must also be aware that a majority of truckers OWN their rigs....yes?

reply

Many of the truckers can simply say they are out of hours, or their trucks are incapacitated or simply not show up to pick up the loads. There are currently up to 25,000 trucks entering NYC every day. If only 10 percent of them participate in the boycott that will create havoc with the flow of goods into the city.
