Truckers For Trump Boycott New York City!

It's not a cult. They are freedom loving patriots. Or at least that's what they want you to believe.

I find it ironic that the folks who are protesting Israel are called "anti-semitic" while those who are protesting an American city and an American state as "patriots."

Make it make sense!

Company trucks will deliver goods to areas within the United States. This boycott from "Truckers for Trump" will backfire. The companies that demand their service and these idiots are trying to protest a verdict against the former president is ridiculous.

However, it's a free country.

Private trucking or companies friendly to former President Donald J. Trump and Republicans are planning another showboat.

This trucker named "Chicago Ray" is telling private truckers to abstain from delivering goods to New York City. He is upset the state attorney general Letitia James successfully sued the former president for fraud. The former president was ordered to pay over $355 million in punitive damages.

“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for the last hour, hour-15 minutes. I’ve talked to at least 10 drivers. They’re going to start refusing loads in New York City starting Monday,” said Chicago Ray, who has 241,000 followers on X.

On Monday morning, Chicago Ray posted another video on X reiterating his support for Trump and boycotting loads to New York.

“I’m not going to encourage you, but if New York City is going to have a judge’s ruling like they’re ruling … I’m just saying I stand with Trump. I’m one of the millions of truckers that stand with Trump,” Chicago Ray said.

The call to boycott loads to New York City comes after Judge Arthur Engoron’s verdict on Friday that ordered Trump to pay $355 million in damages in the fraud case brought by the New York’s attorney general office. The judge also ruled that Trump is barred from doing business in New York for three years, and his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are barred for two years.

Trump posted support for the boycott on several social media platforms, including X and Truth Social.

It’s unclear how widespread the boycott will be or what impact it might have on deliveries to the city.

Chicago Ray’s videos seemed to gain some traction. His original video had over 7 million views but was deleted over the weekend. As of Monday morning, “Boycott NYC” and “Truckers for Trump” were trending on X.

So embarrassing.

Chicago Ray isn’t the only truck driver who has voiced opposition to the civil fraud ruling.

“I vow that I will not make one delivery to New York. NONE! Who’s with me? Truckers for Trump!” an account called The Disrespected Trucker tweeted on Friday.

Zayy The Truck Driver also posted on X that he would not be making deliveries to New York City. 

“I’ve been to NYC plenty of times, running shuttle routes from Atlanta to several breweries in NYC and Brooklyn. I stopped for two reasons; hellish driving and Covid restrictions, and now I have more reasons to never return there,” Zayy wrote. “I say this with absolute conviction, when the government continues to impose regulations on truckers, I don’t want to hear from you truckers who believe this boycott will do nothing.”

It would be a damn shame that some companies aren't going to tolerate that behavior. So thus, are these cult followers willing to sacrifice their own revenues for a man who doesn't even give two fucks about them?

Of course, the Republicans are accusing President Joe Biden of "weaponizing federal law enforcement."
