Trump-supporting truckers are refusing to drive to New York City after the former president was hit with a $355 million fine in his fraud case.
One outspoken influencer, Chicago Ray, shared a video where he divulged the plans of his colleagues to protest the ruling by ceasing deliveries to NYC starting Monday.
The sentiment among these truckers is growing, as they express their support for the former president.
Ray reported that during his conversations with fellow drivers, many expressed their refusal to deliver loads to New York City. The sentiment seemed strong and unwavering, with truckers willing to risk their jobs to stand up against what they perceive as an unjust ruling. Some truckers have already conveyed their defiance to their superiors, stating that they will not enter The Big Apple.
The frustration voiced by the truckers stems from the difficulty of navigating the city’s challenging roads. They believe that their employers will understand their stance and support their decisions to deny loads bound for New York City. Truckers are ready to find alternative routes or look for other job opportunities outside the city if necessary.
Chicago Ray boldly claims that around 95% of truckers stand in solidarity with the former president. His video, viewed over 4.6 million times on social media, has garnered more than 50,000 likes and has inspired a wave of support for the boycott.
Online, many people voiced their backing of the truckers’ actions. Some individuals expressed the desire to help and join in the fight against what they perceive as injustice. The truckers’ stance resonates with those who feel a deep connection to Trump’s ideology and policies.
Last week, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay a $355 million fine for inflating his net worth to secure favorable loans from banks over the span of a decade. Furthermore, the judge barred Trump from holding any officer or director positions in New York for the next three years.
Trump has vehemently criticized the case as “election interference” orchestrated by his political adversaries. He anticipates significant repercussions for NYC, believing that other businesses will abandon the city following his ruling. While the extent of the truckers’ boycott remains unclear, their refusal to drive to New York City underscores the depth of their support for the former president and their frustration with the legal system.
The boycott serves as a vivid and tangible expression of solidarity among truckers who feel strongly about Trump’s cause and believe in making their voices heard. As the consequences of the fraud ruling unfold, it remains to be seen whether this act of defiance will have a lasting impact on the transportation industry or influence public perception of the case.
