Pro-Trump Truckers Boycott New York City in Response to Trump’s Civil Fraud Judgment
In a surprising turn of events, a group of truck drivers who support former President Trump have banded together to express their disappointment with the recent civil fraud judgment against Trump. As a means of protest, these truckers have announced that they will not be driving to New York City, the very heart of the judgment that has left them disheartened.
The civil fraud case, brought against Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization by New York Attorney General Letitia James, resulted in Trump being fined over $350 million. Moreover, he has been barred from operating his business in New York for three years. The ruling was handed down by New York Judge Arthur Engoron last Friday, following a months-long trial that began in October. The case stemmed from James’ lawsuit, which accused the former president of inflating his assets and committing fraud.
Unsurprisingly, this ruling has not been taken lightly by pro-Trump truck drivers across the country. One prominent figure among them, known as “Chicago Ray,” took to social media to rally “Truckers for Trump” after the civil fraud ruling was announced. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Chicago Ray stated, “I’m just one of the many millions of Truckers who believe in God and love this Country. I stand with Trump bc Trump stands with me. Truckers for Trump ain’t just a slogan, it’s real.”
Chicago Ray’s call to action urged fellow truckers to boycott taking shipments to New York City. He warned, “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 further argued that the New York City fraud investigation against Trump amounted to “election interference” and that Trump should be left alone.
The response to Chicago Ray’s plea has been overwhelming, with many truckers showing their solidarity with Trump. One user commented, “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.” Another user echoed this sentiment, stating, “Great, I hope all truckers refuse to go to New York! Enough is enough and our actions matter.”
Chicago Ray is not the only voice speaking out in support of Trump and opposition to the civil fraud ruling. Elena Cardone, the wife of wealthy real estate investor Grant Cardone, has even created a GoFundMe page titled “Stand with Trump; Fund the $355M Unjust Judgment.” Her husband clarified on X that “100% of funds will be forwarded to the Trump organization for his defense of this ridiculous judgment.”
Elena Cardone expressed her unwavering support for Trump, stating, “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.” She emphasized that the legal battles Trump currently faces are not just an attack on him but also an attack on the ideals of fairness and due process that every American deserves.
Since its launch, the fundraiser has already raised nearly $310,000, showing the strong support Trump still enjoys among his followers. The truckers’ boycott and the fundraising efforts highlight the deep divisions and passionate loyalty that continue to exist in the aftermath of Trump’s presidency.
While it remains to be seen how widespread the truckers’ boycott will be and what impact it will have, it is clear that these individuals are determined to make their voices heard. For them, supporting Trump goes beyond mere political allegiance; it is a matter of faith and love for their country. As they stand united against what they perceive as unjust treatment of their beloved leader, they are sending a powerful message that their actions matter and that they are willing to fight for what they believe in.
In conclusion, the civil fraud judgment against Trump has sparked a wave of protest among pro-Trump truck drivers, who have announced a boycott of shipments to New York City. Led by figures like Chicago Ray and with the support of individuals like Elena Cardone, these truckers are making their voices heard and expressing their unwavering support for Trump in the face of what they deem as unfair treatment. Their actions serve as a reminder that the impact of political judgments extends far beyond the courtrooms and into the lives and actions of everyday citizens.
