Trump Endorses Trucker Campaign to Stop Deliveries to NYC in Protest of Fraud Ruling

oh look, he's calling on his supporters to attack a whole city because of a court ruling...
sounds like a dangerous criminal to me...

Just a preview of what he plans if he is president again. He will call for attacks on all cities where he lost a trial. Except this time he would use the military to attack
- When he was president he threatened to withhold federal funds from areas that didn't obey him.
- Except this time he would use the military to attack
  The US Military has been a growing cesspool of glassy-eyed goons and careerist chumps for decades. I don't even know if he has to win in order to get some Michael Flynn type to do a Yevgeny Prigozhin on DC.
Time to prep for suing him for damages.

Do it, we shouldn't even be sending this much shit by long haul trucking anyway. Let's revive CONRAIL under USPS, deliver more goods by freight rail, and just use small and medium trucks for last mile deliveries. Oh, and demolish urban interstates. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

- I propose taking two lanes from each interstate everywhere in the US and converting them into Mid-Speed Rail (90-120 mph) for longer distances and HSR where it makes sense.
In Switzerland, you cannot build any kind of major logistics facility without rail access.
In the US, local rail connection isn't even CONSIDERED when specifying logistics facilities. Even when they are being SHOWERED with tax and infrastructure subsidies to build economically-destructive machines.
The only developed nation to have mostly privately-owned rail and right-of-way. It makes sense when you remember easily half of the country actively wants all cities to fail and collapse.
- Tbf, the major freight carriers in the US blow ass to try and do business with. They're almost all being run like vulture capital operations, not trying to grow and flat-out ignoring cost centers.
Oh, there's gotta be some kind of "collusion" or "racketeering" charge there.

Economic blackmail against the largest city in the country will certainly have the desired effect.

i don't even know what the desired effect is. you would think that they want the courts to be apolitical and not bow to outside pressure, and that's what sparked the protest, but now they are politicizing the court decision and trying to apply outside pressure.
there are lots of things this protest could effect, but the court's decision isn't one of them.
- i don’t even know what the desired effect is
  There is no such thing as bad publicity. Every other article is about that moron. Americans haven't learned one single thing about their own political system in the last 60 years.
  People might claim that I'm wrong about that. But if I were wrong, there would be some sign of people starting to work together, no matter the party...
Ray says, “I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the last hour… and I’ve talked to at least ten drivers… And they’re going to start refusing loads to New York City starting on Monday.”
“I don’t know how far across the country this is, or how many truckers are gonna start denying loads going to New York City,” Ray added, “but I’ll tell you what, you fuck around and find out, OK? We’re tired of you motherfucking leftists fucking with Trump.”
Ray went on to claim without evidence that 95 to 96 percent of truckers are for Trump and that the prosecution of Trump is “election interference.”
Why are we even reading about this? It's as reliable as your drunk uncle rambling at Thanksgiving. No, truck drivers aren't going to intentionally lose money. No, the Chicago Bears aren't going to make Uncle Ray the new Head Coach.

Bunch of truckers about to lose their jobs.

Afterwards they will complain that they lost their jobs because they are being persecuted for their political beliefs.
Thanks, Obama.
They came here and took my jehb!

Weird, if he didn’t commit fraud maybe he should fight it in court and provide evidence that no fraud was committed…

But I guess rallying his idiotic supporters into trying to economically harm people who he wants to elect him is a strategy. Because anyone with a functioning brain would see that any damage done by this trucker campaign would surely only be felt by the average American.

What a piece of human garbage.

Its funny, because there's a world where liberals are embracing tactics like this to resist the psychotic state violence along the US/Mexico border, to protest the police brutality endemic to big cities, and to reject the soulless economic policies intended to drive up unemployment in order to contain inflation.
The idea of a strikes and pickets to protest shit economic conditions isn't something Trump invented. But for some reason (full coast-to-coast control of radio mass media by a handful of dead-eyed Trump-loving fascist billionaires) its the conservatives who have the social coordination and conviction to manage popular actions like this, while the liberals just kinda kick their heels and complain.
- Yeah that recent trucker convoy to the border really was super successful.
- Yes, liberals are doing it for all the great reasons you mentioned. Trump is trying to do it because he's a huge sore loser crybaby. See the difference?
- Whataboutism at it's finest

Just on time after the announcement of the building of 6 new ports on New York to reduce truck traffic in the city

How on god's green earth is adding more ports going to reduce traffic?
- Instead of trucks coming in from outside NY bringing goods, they can move them by a boat to one of the ports. From the port the goods can be transported by smaller trucks that only cover the zone close to the port.
- by literally taking thousands of big trucks off city streets

Why does this thumbnail make me so irrationally mad?

He looks like a little kid playing Tonka trucks, like a big one that the kid can pretend to drive.
- Is he pushing one out or is one being pushed in right there? Hard to tell from his expression.

All 10 independent truckers, that didn't drive into the city anyway.

No.wait.stop.don't.

There aren't even dozens of us!!

I assume this will work out about as well as the convoy to the border did.

There are tons of truckers that already refuse to go into NY because they're afraid of the driving complication. No one will even notice this piss baby bullshit..
