Truck drivers who support former President Trump have stated that they would not be going to New York City to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the civil fraud verdict that penalized Trump more than $350 million last week.
This is in response to Trump being forbidden from conducting business in New York for three years and being held responsible for more than $350 million in damages in a civil fraud lawsuit filed against him, his family, and the Trump Organization by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
New York Judge Arthur Engoron issued his decision Friday, following a months-long trial that began in October and arose from James’ complaint accusing the former president of misrepresenting his assets and committing fraud.
As a result, many pro-Trump truck drivers around the country have taken the verdict seriously.
“I’m just one of the many millions of Truckers who believe in God and love this Country,” Chicago Ray wrote on X. “I stand with Trump bc Trump stands with me. Truckers for Trump ain’t just a slogan, it’s real.”

Chicago Ray called 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.
Trump just posted my video and picture on his Truth Social account, pretty fucken cool…

The truck driver argued that Trump needs to be left alone and that the New York City’s ruling against him “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.

Donald Trump threw his support behind the Trucker boycott.
“Such an honor to have so many Great Patriots on the side of FREEDOM!” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, celebrating the trucker campaign on Saturday night. “Joe Biden’s Unfair and Dangerous Weaponization of Law Enforcement is a serious threat to Democracy. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

A vlogger going by @PhilThatRemains explains why people should stop doing business with New York.
The scariest and most alarming thing about the NYC Engoron ruling has nothing to do with Donald Trump. Pundits sound the alarm. ?
This cannot stand.

“The government doesn’t like my politics, so that means I am going to invest my money somewhere else,” Phil said. “The government attacking people and using the government to take their property will destroy a country. It is literally what destroyed Venezuela.”
