A Trump-supporting trucker has advised New Yorkers to “stock up” – warning that plans not to drive their vehicles to the Big Apple are real.
In a video shared by a driver named Chicago Ray, the trucker suggests New Yorkers plan ahead as the truckers move forward with plans that result in them refusing to haul loads to and from New York City after Former President Trump was fined $355 million in a civil fraud verdict last week
“I'm in Wisconsin and I hear people turning down loads… This could take longer than a week… My advice to New Yorkers is to stock up on supplies… There are millions of truckers for Trump millions.” “We… Leave Trump TF alone,” he wrote in a message to X.
According to Ray, those he spoke to had already informed their superiors that they would no longer be doing business or making deliveries in the Big Apple starting Monday.
“I spoke to a few people on the radio. This is a real man. “There are people who don’t go,” Ray began.
In a video shared by a truck driver named Chicago Ray, he urges New Yorkers to prepare for possible shortages and start stockpiling
According to Ray, truckers are serious about no longer doing business in the Big Apple
The truckers say they are protesting the $355 million civil fine recently imposed on the former president
“I talked to a guy who refused to ship a refrigerator to New York City.” That's a lot of money, so you have to give the guy credit for that.
“If this takes more than a week, New York had better start stocking up now,” Ray continued.
“I don't wish anything on anyone.” I'm just telling you what I hear. From what I've heard, the guys are serious and this could take longer than a week.
“If they stop messing with Trump.” We’re just against what’s going on in this country. We have career opportunities here. We don't want to hurt anyone, but we have to stand up for something. We stand with Trump. End the matter. “It doesn’t have to be like this,” Ray said.
Trump called the group of truckers who want to boycott New York “great patriots.”
After sharing the article about the planned boycott, Trump posted on Truth Social: “What an honor to have so many great patriots on the side of freedom!”
Trucker Jake also expressed similar views. “Whoever of you has to work, let him do it.” But those who take part in the boycott, God bless them. God bless President Trump. “God bless MAGA America and God bless all the truckers out there,” said Trucker Jake
He added: “Joe Biden's unfair and dangerous arming of law enforcement is a serious threat to democracy. 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'
Other truckers have also posted posts on social media supporting the Big Apple boycott.
“Of course, all liberals have become experts in the trucking industry. They all know logistics inside and out. They say we will all be replaced by AI. We have a deficit of 85,000 truck drivers in this country. Do you want to do AI? Bring it. “We could use the help,” trucker Jake posted in a video to X.
“Then you will say that the illegals will take your jobs.” Really? They don't pass a background check, a drug test and then there's the language barrier. What insurance company will hire someone who fails a background check? So truckers, you are safe.
“Whoever of you has to work, let him do it.” But those who take part in the boycott, God bless them. God bless President Trump. “God bless MAGA America and God bless all the truckers out there,” said Trucker Jake.
Since the videos were shared, others have joined the alleged boycott and said they support the move.
One person wrote: “Do it! Let us know how we can help! You are NOT alone in this fight!'
Another added: “We can always count on the trucker to restore some semblance of right in response.”
“Thank you from everyone here on X for your courage in standing up to the Marxist left.”
On Friday, the former president and Republican presidential candidate was fined $355 million in a civil fraud verdict
Judge Arthur Engoron released the ruling on Friday, which also stipulates that the 77-year-old Trump will be barred from serving as 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, lashing out at Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James.
The former president said: “I paid about $300 million in taxes when the migrants came in and took over New York, and they want me out.”
“They're radical left-wing Democrats, they're crazy.” His election interference.'
The former president also said the case was filed by the DOJ and Biden and constituted election interference.
Last month, due to the ongoing crisis, a large MAGA truck convoy called the Army of God was on its way to the southern border.
They hoped the eye-catching, all-American protest would draw further attention to the record-breaking number of migrants crossing the southern border into the U.S. and several cities now buckling under the weight of efforts to care for them.
Last month, a massive convoy of truck drivers was seen heading to migrant hotspots in a bid to pressure the White House to address the worsening crisis
New York City is currently one of those cities struggling under the burden of tens of thousands of migrants arriving at its borders in need of shelter.
In the last two years alone, the city has had to cope with the arrival of over 170,000 migrants.
Mayor Eric Adams said the cost of the Big Apple's refugee crisis is a staggering $4.6 billion as he pleads with the state for more money.
The state's governor, Kathy Hochul, pledged last month to provide $2.4 billion for the crisis, more than double last year's proposal.
In court Friday, five migrants were formally charged with attacking two NYPD officers in Times Square last month.
