A group of truck drivers who support former President Trump have announced they will not be driving to New York City as a means of expressing their disappointment with the politically-motivated civil fraud judgment by a Trump-hating corrupt judge who fined Trump more than $350 million last week and barred him from doing business in NYC for 3 years.
FOX News (h/t Liz) “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 for over an hour and I’ve talked to at least (10) Truckers who are gonna start refusing loads of Monday for (NYC) …I talked to (3) guys that I work with who texted the boss and told him no (NYC)
Truckers are (95%) Trump… it’ll get overturned on appeal… pic.twitter.com/qVzx4RKUmd

“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,” he continued.
the commies will not reverse their ‘verdict’ or change the sentence due to pressure from the truckers. As much as I like the idea, I think it will only complicate things. I think Trump will win on appeal, and shutting down NYC to try to force the matter will be seen as an attempt to circumvent the so-called legal system. The biden Feds will go after the truckers and their companies, for racketeering. I hope I’m wrong.
Unfortunately, all the Appeals courts are in NY. It can’t get to the Federal level, so no SCOTIS.
So, their appeals start and end in NY? I don’t know enough about the court system to understand why that is so. Suffice it to say then, that if they cannot catch and corner those crooked NY DA’s and judge, then perhaps truck persuasion is the only option.
What a bunch of crooks. I don’t know how DJT manages to get up and face this every day. I heard him say recently, that he thrives on it. I guess that’s how he does it.
Yes, that’s the problem. The charges are state, not federal. Even though they are totally bogus, the Democrat appointed judges won’t give him a fair shake.
And yes, he could be enjoying his life now, instead of dealing with all this crap. But he does seem to get more and more popular, the more they attack him.
$4.50 x 80,000,000 (Trump votes) = $360,000,000.
I’ve read even bigger Eastern Europen style political protests are in the making. After all, people in those countries have been fighting for multiple decades against totalitarian regimes such as we now have with the OBiden administration. Buckle up!
