Fox propaganda hype alert!
Truckers for Trump will boycott driving to New York City after $355M fraud ruling
'Chicago Ray' is rallying other truck drivers to refuse shipments to New York City following fraud ruling
No offense to truckers, but we have already had two mega flops when it comes to trucker “political power”: 1) The D.C. trucker convoy protesting COVID-19 mandates and 2) The so called trucker convoy to the border to protest immigration policy. This should be just as successful as those two previous political protest involving truckers.
This is Chicago Ray’s warning to NYC:
"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.
He’s talked to 10 guys.
I don’t know. I’m thinking that many truckers who need the work will actually try to pick up any of the slack from those who heed Chicago Ray’s exortations. All those truckers who believe in God and this country didn’t bother to go down to the border.
Ever since those right wing lunatics in Canada shutdown Ottawa over COVID-19 mandateas and all kinds of other stupid shit , American fascists have been trying to duplicate that event. Never mind that it accomplished NOTHING, except pissing off their fellow Canadians. And some of the ring leaders went to jail.
But Fox will never miss an opportunity to further bond with their blue collar audience (the whites one), and who doesn’t love having truckers cheering you on? Trump and Cruz just LOVE to play truckers! But in case this proves to be an absolute bust, Fox has a back up plan.
Elena 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 the Trump organization for his defense of this "ridiculous judgment."
Yes, a GoFundMe page! We knew that was coming. But I caught Rick Wilson on one of the MSNBC shows (no, I don’t have a link yet) saying there simply isn’t enough elderly people with Social Security Checks who can bail Trump out of this massive financial hole he is in.
Besides, Grant Cardone is supposedly worth $600 million, so why doesn’t he pony up the money to bail Trump out? Yes, he would take a significant hit to his bank account, but it’s all in a good cause!
Oh fucking please.
