prevnextIt's not a celebration. It's a protest of problems facing truckers, which the protesters want the president to deal with. They aren't happy Trump is alternately lying that their protest is not a protest at all or that it is a protest to support Trump. https://t.co/VNCqpm2NVX

Today, Trump bragged about Truckers at his press conference honking their horns.
Turns out they were honking to protest Trump's government's lack of support for them. They were begging for help in a mess that he helped create.
Meanwhile Trump spends million on the Space force.

They absolutely were not. They were protesting Trump. Since May 1, truckers have been protesting on Constitution Avenue in Washington D.C., asking for more regulations on freight brokers and fair rates.

prevnextWait, truckers are protesting for him? Wouldn’t that not be a protest then? Do you protest things you’re for?

Trump pauses his remarks on vaccine development to note that the loud honking in the background is from truckers who are protesting in favor of him, calling it a “sign of love.”
The truckers are protesting low shipping rates during the pandemic and are seeking gov’t support.

The golfers and the truckers are two key segments of Donald Trump's base. Congrats to Trump for pissing off both of them on the same say.

prevnextHard to ignore their horns during his remarks in the Rose Garden, President Trump acknowledges the truckers protesting on Constitution Avenue in demand of fair pay. Trump says they’re protesting in favor of him, not opposition. They say they’re facing economic strain.

prevI loaded trucks for a living & my running mate @AngelaNWalker is a truck driver. Trump said truckers are honking to support him, when actually it's a distress signal because he's blowing the pandemic response. Workers are sick & tired of this con man pretending he's on our side. https://t.co/vCJc7exUcQ
