Trump says truckers boycotting driving to New York City from Monday are ‘great patriots on the side of freedom’ after $355 million fraud ruling
Former President Donald Trump has praised a group of truckers who plan to boycott New York after the $355 million fraud against him as “great patriots.”
On Friday, a truck driver claimed there was a growing national movement of fellow drivers planning to refuse to deliver to New York City starting Monday in support of Trump.
After sharing DailyMail.com’s article about the planned boycott, Trump posted on Truth Social: “What an honor to have so many great patriots on the side of freedom!”
He added: “Joe Biden’s unfair and dangerous weaponization of law enforcement is a serious threat to democracy. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’
The truckers claim they are taking action after the former president was ordered by a New York court to pay a $355 million fine in a civil fraud judgment.
According to Ray, those he spoke to had already warned their bosses that they would no longer be doing business in the Big Apple starting Monday

A driver with the username Chicago1Ray shared a video on
It wasn’t clear how many truckers were involved, but after Trump praised their plan on his Truth Social page, Chicago1Ray posted again, saying, “Trump just posted my video and photo to his Truth Social account, pretty cool.” …
‘God bless America. God bless Trump and God bless every truck driver in this country.”
He later added, “I’m just one of many millions of truck drivers who believe in God and love this country.
“Truckers for Trump isn’t just a slogan, it’s real.”
According to Ray, those he had spoken to had already informed their bosses of their plans.
In the video he said: ‘I’ve been talking to drivers on the radio for the last hour, hour and fifteen minutes.
‘I have spoken to at least ten drivers, they will be refusing loads in New York City starting Monday.
“I don’t know how far this is across the country, or how many truckers are going to reject loads into New York City.
“I’ll tell you what, just fuck off and find out. We’re tired of you leftists messing with Trump. Motherf***ers are getting tired of this s**t.
Trump called the truckers “great patriots” and said it was an “honor” to have them by his side
“Our bosses don’t care, we’ll just go somewhere else. Do you know how damn hard it is to get into New York City with one of those things?
‘I don’t wish anything on anyone, but what I hear is real. We’ll see, leave Trump the fuck alone with the bulls***. It’s election interference.
“I hate to say it, but truck drivers are for Trump. There are no assholes for Biden.”
Since the video was shared, others have spoken out about the alleged boycott, saying they supported the measure.
One person posted: ‘Do it! Let us know how we can help! You are NOT alone in this fight!’
Another added: “We can always trust the truck driver to restore some semblance of rightness in response.
“Thank you from many here at X for your courage to stand up to the Marxist leftists.”
In Friday’s ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump and his company to pay $355 million in fines, finding he had lied about his wealth for years to deceive banks, insurers and others by inflating his wealth in financial overviews.
He is also banned from being a director of a New York company for three years.
Speaking outside his Mar-a-lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump went on the offensive and lashed out at Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James.

A huge convoy of truckers was seen heading to migrant hotspots in an attempt to shame the White House into addressing the worsening crisis
The former president said, “I paid about $300 million in taxes when the migrants came in and took over New York, and they wanted me out.
‘These are radical left Democrats, they are crazy. It is election interference.”
The former president also said the case was brought by the DOJ and Biden and involved election interference.
Last month, a large MAGA truck convoy dubbed the “Army of God” traveled toward the southern border due to the ongoing crisis.
They hoped the protest would draw more attention to record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border into the US.
