BOYCOTT BEGINS: Truckers Stand with Trump Against NYC Fraud Ruling

Truckers for Trump plan to boycott deliveries to New York City after the judge fined President Donald Trump $355 million in the civil fraud case. The former President has also been banned from overseeing his NYC companies for three years. How will the truckers’ protest affect commerce in the Big Apple?
You might wonder how many truckers can make delivery decisions on their own if they work for trucking companies. But the truth is about 1.7 million of the 3.5 million truckers in the U.S. work independently and can choose where they want to deliver goods. So a sizable number of truckers could be involved here.
We’ve recently seen several trucker blockades along the U.S.-Canada border. This potential boycott won’t block any traffic in New York City. We could see some serious problems if supplies don’t start arriving at NYC hotels, restaurants, companies, etc.
Again, the truckers’ ire derives from the obvious political prosecution being levied against President Trump. Several truck drivers called in to today’s Sekulow broadcast and railed against the policies in blue states that make truckers’ jobs harder (e.g., high tolls to cross the Brooklyn Bridge). All this anger has been boiling for some time.
