Because the only news source I can find covering the "10-4" trucker convoy in #WashingtonDC is the fucking Epoch Times, I'm just going to post this video from one of the truckers. 200 trucks rolled into DC yesterday and parked by the National Mall to protest #diesel prices. Probably a lot of these guys voted for #Trump going by demographics and some of the art on the rigs. Whatever the case, they're angry now.
They'll be protesting until 10/4.

Given the radio silence about this in national outlets, you can be sure this is completely different from the 2022 "trucker" convoys in the US and Canada. Those were Russian-funded astroturf "truckers" protesting the vaccines that most *real* teamsters gladly took. There would surely be even more than 200 trucks if more independent truckers could even afford to do this protest. It looks like some real truckers are doing this in Canada as well: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/fort-st-john-truckers-convoy-diesel-prices-9.7365627
