« I see they have Trump signs all over the place and I’m proud that they do, » the former president said Saturday.
Former President Donald Trump suggested that the trucker protests that started in Canada could cause more significant disruptions in the U.S., saying the country is « more of a tinderbox » than its northern neighbor. The trucker protests—or « Freedom Convoy »—began in Ottawa in late January. The movement rallied supporters against vaccine mandates for truckers implemented in Canada and led to the convoy blocking the Ambassador Bridge, a key border crossing between the U.S. and its ally to the north. Right-wing groups have jumped behind the movement, with many staunchly pro-Trump Republicans expressing support for the convoy. During a Saturday morning interview with Fox News, Trump commented on the movement and suggested the U.S. could see an even worse situation. « Freedom Convoys » are now planning to launch related demonstrations in the U.S. « I see they have Trump signs all over the place and I’m proud that they do, » Trump told the hosts of Fox & Friends during a live phone interview.
