Trump-loving truck drivers are calling for a boycott of New York City in protest of a leftist judge’s ruling last week that former President Donald Trump must pay $355 million to settle a fraud case that had no victims.
On Saturday, a trucker named “Chicago Ray” took to X to rally support for the boycott.
“I don’t know how far across the country this is, or how many truckers are going to start denying loads to New York City,” Ray said in the X video. “I tell you what, you f— around and find out. We are tired of you leftists f—ing with Trump. Motherf—ers are getting tired of this s–t.”
Ray added, “Our bosses ain’t gonna care about these loads. We will just go somewhere else. Do you know how f—ing hard it is to get into New York City with one of these?”
“I don’t wish nothing on nobody, but what I am hearing, this is real. We will see. Leave Trump the f–k alone with the bulls—. It’s election interference,” he continued. “I hate to say it, but truckers are for Trump. Ain’t no motherf—ers are for Biden.”

Ray said in just an hour, he had talked to at least ten truckers who already notified their bosses that beginning on Monday, they would refuse loads into NYC.
It’s unclear how much support will build for the boycott.
But as of Sunday, Ray’s post had been viewed 6.1 million times and gathered 57,000 likes.
Trump immediately announced he would appeal the decision by Judge Arthur Engoron, who handed down the decision on Friday that had been telegraphed by the Democratic jurist back in September.
“I paid approximately $300 million dollars in taxes as the migrants come in and take over New York, and they want me out,” Trump said in response. “These are radical left Democrats, they are lunatics. It’s election interference.”
