A group of truckers who go by the name Truckers for Trump is boycotting any delivery to New York City after Judge Engoron issued a fine of more than $350 million to President Trump.
The civil fraud case found President Trump, his family, and his company liable for fraudulent damage.
Though President Trump has been found guilty, it is looking increasingly likely that he will appeal the case.
As a response to the ruling, the pro-Trump trucking group is looking to make a stand against the unjust court ruling.

The folks at Fox News share more:
A group of truck drivers who support former President Trump have announced they will not be driving to New York City as a means of expressing their disappointment with the civil fraud judgment that fined Trump more than $350 million last week.
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.
ADVERTISEMENTNew York Judge Arthur Engoron handed down his ruling Friday after a months-long trial that began in October and stemmed from James’ lawsuit that accused the former president of inflating his assets and committing fraud.
As a result, many pro-Trump truck drivers across the country have not taken the ruling lightly.
“I’m just one of the many millions of Truckers who believe in God and love this Country,” a trucker known as “Chicago Ray” wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I stand with Trump bc Trump stands with me. Truckers for Trump ain’t just a slogan, it’s real,” he wrote.
Chicago Ray took to X on Feb. 16 when the ruling came down, calling on fellow truckers to boycott taking shipments to New York City.
“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the past hour, and I’ve talked to about 10 drivers,” Ray wrote. “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— around and find out,” he said.
Bless these truckers who are putting their livelihoods on the line to make a stand against this corrupt court system.

The Independent shares more on the story:
It’s unclear whether the boycott will actually manifest. But Chicago Ray isn’t the only one who has voiced opposition to the civil fraud ruling.
ADVERTISEMENTElena Cardone, the wife of wealthy real estate investor Grant Cardone, created a GoFundMe page — called “Stand with Trump; Fund the $355M Unjust Judgment.” Her husband explained on X that “100% of funds will be forwarded to Trump Org for his defense of this ridiculous judgement.”
On the page, she wrote: “I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York.”
Since Ms Cardone launched the fundraiser, it has already raked in over $240,000.
The strong reaction to the civil fraud judgment could serve as a bellwether of how America will respond to the outcomes of the now-ongoing court cases that Mr Trump is facing in federal and state courts.
The people stand with President Trump.
Everyone knows that the court ruling was bogus and that President Trump is innocent!
