“TRUCKERS FOR TRUMP” to boycott delivering food to New York City after the malicious $355 million fraud ruling against Donald Trump
FEBRUARY 19, 2024 BY BARENAKEDISLAMLEAVE A COMMENT
A group of truck drivers who support former President Trump have announced they will not be driving to New York City as a means of expressing their disappointment with the politically-motivated civil fraud judgment by a Trump-hating corrupt judge who fined Trump more than $350 million last week and barred him from doing business in NYC for 3 years.
FOX News (h/t Liz) “I’m just one of the many millions of Truckers who believe in God and love this Country,” a trucker known as “Chicago Ray” wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I stand with Trump bc Trump stands with me. Truckers for Trump ain’t just a slogan, it’s real,” he wrote.
Chicago Ray took to X on Feb. 16 when the ruling came down, calling on fellow truckers to boycott taking shipments to New York City.
I’ve been on the radio for over an hour and I’ve talked to at least (10) Truckers who are gonna start refusing loads of Monday for (NYC) …I talked to (3) guys that I work with who texted the boss and told him no (NYC)
Truckers are (95%) Trump… it’ll get overturned on appeal… pic.twitter.com/qVzx4RKUmd

Trucker Chicago Ray takes down viral NYC protest video, insists no one got to him
February 20, 2024 | Tom Tillison
A trucker known as “Chicago Ray” took down a video calling on truckers to boycott deliveries to New York City in response to the $350+ million fine leveled against Donald Trump in the civil fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned for office on going after the former president — Trump was also barred from operating his business in New York for three years.
In a follow-up video, Chicago Ray said he stands by what he said in the original profanity-laced video but decided to pull it after his grandson saw it on TikTok and was hurt by it. At the same time, he insisted no one got to him.
“Look, I’m not no figurehead here. I’m no leader of any movement, not going on any podcast or, you know, doing any GoFundMe’s or anything like that, you know, I’m who I am,” he said. “I heard chatter and I let you guys know what I heard.”
As for the boycott, Chicago Ray said some people “are seriously speaking of not going to New York City,” but stressed that he’s “not going to encourage it” and that every truck driver has to “decide on their own” if they are going to participate.

Normally I oppose boycotts, but this is NYC and it is favoring Trump.
