Former President Donald Trump is receiving support from a group of truckers who are refusing to deliver goods to New York City. This comes after a court decision ordered Trump to pay $355 million in a civil fraud case. Trump praised the truckers, calling them “great patriots” and expressing gratitude for their stance against what he sees as unfair treatment.
Chicago Ray, a trucker and conservative influencer, announced the protest in a video. He claimed that many truckers have decided not to accept loads bound for New York City starting from Monday. Ray emphasized the difficulty and inconvenience of driving into the city and suggested that the majority of truckers support Trump.
Such an honor to have so many Great Patriots on the side of FREEDOM! Joe Biden’s Unfair and Dangerous Weaponization of Law Enforcement is a serious threat to Democracy. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump himself condemned the court ruling and criticized Judge Arthur Engoron, who issued the verdict. He portrayed the decision as politically motivated and accused New York Democrats of election interference. Trump’s supporters, including billionaire Grant Cardone and his wife Elena, have launched a fundraising campaign to support Trump’s legal defense against what they perceive as an unjust judgment.

The truckers’ boycott has garnered mixed reactions on social media, with some expressing solidarity with Trump and the truckers’ cause, while others criticize the protest as unnecessary or misguided. Despite the controversy, the truckers’ refusal to deliver goods to New York City highlights the ongoing polarization surrounding Trump and the legal battles he faces.
My wife @elenacardone started a $354,000,000 GoFundMe account to fund the UNJUST judgement against @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @EricTrump and Trump Organization.
Give something & DEMONSTRATE that the people of America are standing together against unjust rulings like this…

The decision to boycott deliveries to New York City reflects a broader sentiment among some segments of society who believe that Trump is being unfairly targeted by the legal system. As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how Trump’s supporters and opponents will continue to react to the ongoing legal challenges and their implications for the country’s political landscape.
