Following former President Donald Trump’s $355 million punishment in his recent civil fraud case, truck drivers in the United States who support the 45th president have declared that they will not be transporting any cargo to or from New York City.
Judge Arthur Engoron of the Manhattan Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Trump and his two sons, as members of the Trump Organization, were responsible for tens of millions of dollars. The 45th president’s sons were also sentenced to pay almost $4 million apiece, on top of an order to pay over $350 million plus interest.
Consequently, truck drivers around the country fiercely disagreed with the ruling and protested the finding.
A truck driver going by the handle “Chicago Ray” blogged about the demonstration on Monday, but he then withdrew his plea for truckers to forego their voyage to New York City.
“I removed the video from Friday after my grandson watched it on TikTok and it went viral. I [still] support Trump 100%. Truckers for Trump, Chicago Ray posted on Monday on X, a platform that was originally Twitter.”
Chicago Ray, however, clarified why he removed the video and how it linked to the right to free will, stating that drivers had the ability to make decisions depending on their families and occupations.
“I had this job before I got in my automobile. I worked at a place for eighteen years, and I quit them in a day. I’m not the movement’s leader. I am my own guy, all right. Chicago Ray prayed, “God bless America, God bless Trump, and God bless every truck driver in this nation.””
In the wake of James’ lawsuit accusing the 45th president of lying and inflating his assets, which initiated the lengthy trial of Trump that lasted for several months, New York Judge Arthur Engoron made his ruling on Friday.
As a result, a large number of truck drivers who support Trump around the country have not accepted the ruling lightly, underscoring an apparent injustice system.
“I suggest that New Yorkers begin stockpiling supplies. There are millions of truck drivers supporting Trump out there. “Leave Trump TF alone,” said Chicago Ray in his initial message. *TF stands for “The F**k” in internet parlance.*
Many people called for a boycott in response to Chicago Ray’s first tweet, expressing solidarity with the former president and truck drivers who are refusing to carry products to New York City.
“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the truckers who are taking part in the refusal to deliver to New York City. We also value people who are unable to choose because they are trying to support their family and simply cannot afford to do so. In one way or another, I believe that all Americans would like to express their gratitude to truck drivers. And to the drivers who are choosing not to enter New York Trump 24,” a user said.
Another person said, “God bless each and every one of the truck drivers taking a stance against corruption.””
