NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Trump-loving truckers have said they will refuse to drive to New York City after a massive $355 million penalty hit the former President in the New York civil fraud trial, reported Daily Mail.

A conservative truck driver who goes by the name Chicago Ray, posted a video message on X in which he claims that some of his fellow truck drivers are going to stop taking loads to and fro from the Big Apple to protest the bombshell ruling.

"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 in the nearly three-minute video already viewed more than five million times.

After an 11-week-long trial, Judge Arthur Engoron, on February 16, issued the verdict in the lawsuit filed by NY Attorney General Letitia James. Besides the penalty, Trump is prohibited from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years.

Conservative trucker claims they have informed their bosses

In the video message, Ray said he already talked to some of his colleagues who had informed their bosses they would not go to New York City.

"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. We are tired of you leftists f**king with Trump. Motherf***ers are getting tired of this s**t," he said.

The Trump-supporter added their bosses, "ain't gonna care if we deny the loads — we'll just go somewhere else."

Slamming the civil fraud verdict against the former President, Ray stated, "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**t."

"I hate to say it, but truckers are for Trump. Ain't no motherf***ers are for Biden," Ray added.



 

Responding to the verdict, Trump lashed out at Judge Engoron and AG James, labeling them "crooked" and "corrupt."

Internet reacts to Trump-supporting trucker's rant

Social media users slammed the Trump-supporting truck drivers over their decision to refuse to drive to NYC, suggesting they should quit their jobs instead.

One user wrote, "Good. Drive to mar a lago and stay there."



 

Another user wrote, "MAGA truckers are outnumbered by truckers that don’t worship Trump and just want to earn their paycheck and get back to their families."



 

"As a trucker, this is a load of bull. Most truckers aren't going there anyway," a third response read.



 

A fourth user added, "Well, there's always an option of quitting your job or just getting completely fired."



 

"Well it was a complete and utter hack job," one user remarked.

Another user said, "Hope they all get fired and blacklisted then."



 



 

"It’ll suck when they can’t make the mortgage and Trump is eating lobster," read a response.
