New York's corrupt assault on Trump
Truckers who support Donald Trump are threatening to "shut down" New York City following the $364 million fine levied against him in a New York Court.
“It could shut New York City down,” said Jennifer Hernandez, a trucker who has joined in the protest against Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron.
“I’m not trying to hurt the people of New York, that’s not what I’m trying to do,” Hernandez insisted on NewsNation Monday morning.
It's an interesting thought, but it would take thousands of truckers working together to tie up traffic in the city completely. However, even a few dozen truckers placed at strategic bottlenecks could create a traffic nightmare for at least some New Yorkers.
“But if New York loses just 10% of the trucks that go in there, their prices are going to skyrocket on everything — from milk to eggs, to any type of goods that the consumer needs.
“When that happens, it’s going to cost everyone more money,” she warned.
The boycott seemed to have been started by conservative social media influencer Chicago Ray, who posted a clip Friday saying he had spoken to some of his trucker colleagues who said they would stop making deliveries to the city starting Monday.
He claimed that 95% of truckers support the former president, and said the bosses of freight companies “ain’t gonna care if we deny the loads — we’ll just go somewhere else.”
As the video spread on social media, it even gained the attention of the former president.
“Such an honor to have so many Great Patriots on the side of freedom,” he posted on his Truth Social network on Sunday.
“Joe Biden’s Unfair and Dangerous Weaponization of Law Enforcement is a serious threat to Democracy,” Trump argued. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The American Spectator's Jeffrey Lord points out that Manhattan is an island and vulnerable to even small truck boycotts.

Engoron's assault on Trump looks like a mistake of gigantic proportions. It literally makes no sense to impose a confiscatory fine on a business because you don't like the politics of the owner.

The news broke in quick succession: New York’s district attorney, a Democrat, will attempt to jail Donald Trump in a trial starting next month; a Democratic Party judge ordered Trump and his affiliates to “disgorge” $450 million in a novel civil case brought by New York’s Democratic attorney general—and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in a Siberian prison.
Democrats want to strip Trump of his assets and send him to jail to die like Navalny; that’s how ruthless they have become. Why? Donald Trump represents a democratic threat to Democrats – their power, their narratives, their culture, and their coalition. So, Democrats decided to wage war in the friendly confines of their home courts to destroy their nemesis and short-circuit democracy.
Justice Arthur F. Engoron’s opinion in the civil action brought by Attorney General Letitia James is premised on the idea that Trump fraudulently obtained lower rates on money he borrowed by offering lenders recourse to more of his assets, some of which he overstated.
Engoron glosses over the most salient fact of this case – there was no victim – and he does so in a decidedly schoolmarmish preface: “Timely and total repayment of loans does not extinguish the harm that false statements inflict on the marketplace,” the judge wrote in his order. Without bothering to do much explaining regarding this expansive theory, the judge added, “Here, despite the false financial statements, it is undisputed that defendants have made all required payments on time.”
