Recently, Trump-supporting truck drivers have indicated that they will not drive to New York City following the controversial ruling in the former president’s fraud case ordering him to pay nearly $355 million in fines.
Conservative social media influencer and truck driver Chicago Ray posted a video where he explained the sentiment he and some of his peers in the industry now share toward the Big Apple following the decision from the Manhattan Supreme Court.
“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the past hour and I’ve talked to about ten drivers … and they’re going to start refusing loads to New York City starting on Monday,” Ray said from the cab of his truck while wearing a Trump hat.
“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–k around and find out,” he continued in the video. “Do you know how f—king hard it is to get into New York City with one of these motherf—ckers?” he said, referring to his truck. “Man, f—k that. “
Chicago Ray posted the video on X, where he received substantial support and praise from other users in the comments section. “Truckers are (95%) Trump… it’ll get overturned on appeal but you know how fucken hard it is to get one of these mfrs into (NYC) cut the bullshit I’ll cya down the road,” he wrote in the caption.
The American Tribune recently reported on Donald Trump’s reaction to the controversial fraud ruling, where he suggested that Judge Arthur Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James were “corrupt” while simultaneously slamming the Biden administration.
“A crooked New York state judge just ruled that I have to pay a fine of $355 million for building a perfect company. Great cash, great buildings, great everything. It affects New York. It’s mostly talking about New York where we have a totally corrupt Attorney General. She campaigned on the fact that I will get Trump, I will get Trump, everybody said Letitia James they won’t say that will be appealing, but more important than that. This is Russia. This is China. This is the same game all comes out of the DOJ. It all comes out of Biden. It’s a witch hunt against his political opponent, the likes of which our country has never seen before you seen in third world countries, banana republics, but you don’t see it here,” the former president said.
Trump’s legal team has indicated that they strongly disagree with the ruling and intend to fight back. Trump lawyer Alina Habba recently expressed her frustration with Engoron and James, where she claimed the judge is “not going to get away with it.”
“We will fight because the facts are on our side. There are politicized judges. There are politicized DA’s and AGS. But I do not have a doubt that in the end we will succeed,” Habba said. See Chicago Ray’s video below.
