Donald Trump-Supporting Truckers Warn to Boycott NYC Following Civil Fraud Case

Donald Trump-supporting truckers are issuing warnings that their refusal to deliver goods to New York City could lead to severe disruptions, with more drivers pledging to join the boycott in the wake of the recent civil fraud case against Trump, per the NY Post.

The NYC boycott is in response to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron's decision to fine Trump $355 million for allegedly inflating his net worth to deceive banks and insurers.

Jennifer Hernandez, one of the participating Trump-supporting truckers, emphasized that the intention is not to harm New York residents.

However, she pointed out that even a 10% reduction in truck deliveries to the city could result in significant price hikes for essential goods such as milk and eggs, affecting consumers' wallets.

The boycott gained momentum through social media, with one trucker suggesting it could extend for three years.

Chicago Ray Recants Call for NYC Boycott

Initially advocating for the boycott, a conservative social media influencer known as "Chicago Ray" has withdrawn his call to action, Fox News reports.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Chicago Ray clarified that his intention was not to lead a movement but rather to express solidarity with Donald Trump.

He urged Trump-supporting truckers to make individual decisions based on their families and careers.

This reversal by Chicago Ray follows the controversial ruling that barred Trump from operating his business in New York for three years and imposed a substantial fine of over $350 million in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The judgment has sparked a wave of support for Trump among pro-Trump truck drivers across the country.

Potential Government Seizure of Donald Trump's Properties

Legal experts speculate that if Trump refuses to pay the hefty fine resulting from his civil fraud trial, the government may seize and sell many of his properties at "fire sale prices," according to Newsweek.

John Dean, former White House counsel during the Watergate scandal, outlined the potential consequences for Donald Trump, emphasizing that the government could liquidate properties beyond his negotiation capacity.

Following Judge Engoron's Friday ruling, Trump was ordered to pay nearly $355 million in fines, with additional penalties imposed on his associates, including sons Donald Jr. and Eric.

The ruling also prohibits Trump from serving as an officer or director of a New York company for three years.

Trump and his legal team continue to deny any wrongdoing, portraying the trial as politically motivated and vowing to appeal within the 30-day timeframe.

Engoron had previously questioned the valuation of Trump's properties, including Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his Trump Tower triplex apartment, and 40 Wall Street in New York City.

Complicating matters, Trump must also pay pre-judgment interest on components of the fine, accumulating from March 2019 to June 2023.

John Dean highlighted the growing debt, indicating that the interest on the judgment, about $100 million, continues to accrue daily at a rate of nine percent, even during the appeal process.

This financial pressure adds an additional layer of complexity to Former President Donald Trump's legal predicament.
