Last week, President Donald Trump met with the CEOs of some trucking companies and members of the American Trucking Association. In typical photo-op styling, some 18-wheelers were parked on the White House lawn and President Trump climbed into the cab and honked the horn of a Semi.
Since then, every media outlet and their mother has been making jokes about Donald Trump and trucks.
Buzzfeed, not to be outdone, is releasing a book making fun of Trump and his love of trucks.
Since nobody else has said this, let me say it:
Dear Media,
Fuck you all. Fuck your mothers. Fuck your ancestry and progeny for a thousand generations. You sacks of shit have abdicated your responsibility to the truth in favor of partisan hackery. Shame on you all.
Here’s the truth, I love truck too.
Trucking is A $1 TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY, representing more than 10% of the US GDP.
Over 70% of all freight tonnage in the US is moved by Truck.
There are over 3.5 million truck drivers in the US, with an average salary of $57,000. That is 3.5 million people making a solidly middle class, living income.
Trucking is overwhelmingly small business, with 90% of Trucking companies having 10 trucks or less, and is one of the fastest growing small businesses in America.
Trucking is co critical to the US economy that trucking is used as a metric of economic performance.
There is a reason a common refrain of the American Trucking Association is:
The reason that some asshole from Buzzfeed, in New York City, is having a latte while writing a book mocking Trump is that coffee beans from South America delivered to the port of Miami, milk from a farm in Upstate New York, sugar from central Florida, and a mug from Ohio, all were shipped to NYC in a truck. If he had a blueberry scone with that latte, we can add California, Kansas, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and a whole host of other states to that list.
That the President of the United States met with representatives of the trucking industry to celebrate trucking, instead of doing what Obama did and try to fuck it to death with EPA regulations, is good for the American economy.
It’s good for the American Economy.
Good.
But the shit-for-brains, Leftist fuck-wits with the media won’t let that penetrate their bubble.
You know what?
I heart trucks too, you miserable, dishonest, sons-of-bitches.
*Honk-Honk*
Awe KB tell us how you really feel.
PS I couldn’t agree more
Could I add that Trump puts on Big Boy Pants everyday while Obama and the author of this ridiculous book put on pink panties.
Some of the toughest, hardest working Americans are truckers and even I know this as a white collar professional-type guy.
I drove a truck most everywhere a truck could go for *mumble* years. I loved my job. I was happiest t’wixed and t’ween. I still miss it and I probably always will.
Now truck drivers on the other hand…
Part of my job is logistics, and I too love trucks.
If I had magic genii powers, I would probably use the magic to take away all the blue collar workers* from the blue cities- those workers that the blue state intellectuals disdain so much- for about a month.
*and send those truckers, cops, firefighters, plumbers, ect to 5 star resorts.
