Leftists are resorting to increasingly radical tactics in their quest to take down Donald Trump, leaving his supporters fuming.
Something like this was bound to happen sooner or later given rising political tension.
Now Donald Trump is laughing as NYC got hit where it hurts after his civil fraud verdict.
It was a jaw-dropping decision but not an unexpected one given where it occurred.
New York City has proven to be the second capital of the unofficial Stop Trump movement, only behind Washington, D.C.
Donald Trump was fined a jaw-dropping $355 million in a civil fraud verdict in the Big Apple this week.
Turley: Ruling “grotesque, shocks the conscience”
Professor Jonathan Turley wrote in The Hill, “The size of the damages is grotesque and should shock the conscience of any judge on appeal. Even if the Democrat-appointed judges on the New York Court of Appeals were to ignore the obvious inequity and unfairness, the United States Supreme Court could intervene.”
In reaction to the ruling, Trump said, “I paid approximately $300 million dollars in taxes as the migrants come in and take over New York, and they want me out. These are radical Left Democrats, they are lunatics. It’s election interference.”
If Trump is indignant, and many say rightfully so, at least he can take some solace in knowing that others agree that he’s being treated extremely unfairly.
Anger and disgust over the verdict have led some Trump-supporting truckers to refuse to transport loads to and from New York City.
A driver called Chicago Ray spoke to several of his fellow truckers and they all agreed to stiff the Big Apple.
Ray says that the group had alerted their bosses that beginning Monday, they would no longer work in New York.
Trucker to New York: No deliveries for you
In the video, Ray says, “I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for the last hour, hour fifteen minutes. I’ve talked to at least ten drivers, they’re going to start refusing loads in New York City starting Monday. I don’t know how far across the country this is, or how many truckers are going to start denying loads to New York City.”
He continued, saying, “I tell you what, you f*** around and find out. We are tired of you leftists f***ing with Trump. Motherf***ers are getting tired of this s**t. Our bosses ain’t gonna care about these loads, we will just go somewhere else. Do you know how f***ing hard it is to get into New York City with one of these?”
Ray added, “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***. It’s election interference. I hate to say it, but truckers are for Trump. Ain’t no motherf***ers are for Biden.”
Support for the movement gained steam on social media.
One X user wrote, “Good morning. It’s Sunday February 18th and I’m still not going to New York. I looked through some of the comments from yesterday and there’s one thing that’s for sure. You can call me every name in the book and I’m still not going to deliver to New York. I do find it funny though, the people that say that it’s not going to make a difference, sure are the angriest.”

In the end, this is just one small consequence of unfair and unprecedented lawfare being waged against a former and potentially future President.
If it can happen to Trump it can happen to anyone.
