“Chicago Ray” went viral this past week after calling truckers to boycott deliveries made to New York City after Judge Engoron issued President Trump a $355 million fine.
However, “Chicago Ray” deleted the viral video that gained him popularity.
Some were confused and worried about why he took it down.
It turns out it was because his grandson saw it on TikTok.
See his response here:
I took that video down from Friday bc it went viral and my Grandson seen it on Tik Tok
No one's got to me … I heard what drivers were saying and I'm hearing some of that today
I ain't scared of shit. I grew up in Chicago
I stand with Trump 💯% Truckers for Trump… pic.twitter.com/XhvtHF9CUq

“Chicago Ray” was never the leader of this boycott.
This is something that truckers are doing because they oppose what is happening in New York City.
The folks at Fox News share more:
After calling on truckers to boycott driving to New York City in response to the civil fraud judgment that fined Trump more than $350 million last week, “Chicago Ray” has taken back his call to action.
“I took that video down from Friday bc it went viral and my Grandson seen it on Tik Tok… I stand with Trump 100% Truckers for Trump,” a trucker known as “Chicago Ray” wrote on X, formerly Twitter on Monday morning.
Chicago Ray continued writing that drivers can make their own decisions based on their families and their careers.
“I worked for a place for 18 years and I quit em in one day and had this job b4 I got to my car… I ain’t the leader of any movement… I’m my own man period…. God Bless America, God Bless Trump and God bless every Truck driver in this country,” Ray concluded.
This all comes in response to Trump being barred from operating his business in New York for three years and being found liable for more than $350 million in damages in the civil fraud case brought against him, his family and the Trump Organization by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
People are not going to stand for the unjust ruling that went down in New York City.
Even Kevin O’Leary spoke on the matter.

The Rolling Stones covers President Trump’s support of the boycott:
A pro-Trump trucker and right-wing influencer who goes by the handle Chicago Ray posted a video to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday night claiming that he has spoken to “at least” 10 truckers who will “start refusing loads” headed for New York City. Ray wants truckers to stop deliveries to the city in the wake of a New York court ruling ordering the former president to pay $355 million in damages after he and the Trump Organization were found liable for committing financial fraud. And Trump supports their efforts.
“Such an honor to have so many Great Patriots on the side of FREEDOM!” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, celebrating the trucker campaign on Saturday night. “Joe Biden’s Unfair and Dangerous Weaponization of Law Enforcement is a serious threat to Democracy. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
“Trump just posted my video and picture on his Truth Social account, pretty fucken cool,” Ray posted Sunday alongside a screenshot of Trump’s post.
Let’s hope these truckers can get more work that isn’t shipping to New York City.
