Staff Reports
A federal jury in Texas recently made the bold move to clear most of the defendants involved in the so-called “Trump Train” incident from 2020, where a convoy of enthusiastic Trump supporters felt the need for speed alongside a Biden-Harris campaign bus. Voter intimidation was the dubious charge thrown around, as well as accusations of emotional distress. One can only imagine the drama that unfolded in the courtroom, where it’s unclear if popcorn was provided for the viewing audience.
Out of six defendants, five walked away without a scratch, while one poor soul, Eliazar Cisneros, ended up with a $40,000 bill due to a minor bump (an aggressive game of bumper cars, anyone?) with the bus driver. But hey, at least none of the defendants got criminal charges. With that kind of luck, they might as well invest in lottery tickets next.
Defendants Steve and Randi Ceh, along with their partner-in-trust, Joeylynn Mesaros, expressed their views on what they labeled as politically motivated lawfare. They argued their “friendly” truck parade was misconstrued by a media that seems determined to paint any Trump supporter as a rabid extremist. Instead of inspirational campaign cheer, the legacy media highlighted supposed assaults and political intimidation tactics, suggesting that waving flags and honking horns somehow equates to a Klan-like conspiracy. It’s almost like they think the sight of “Make America Great Again” hats sends shivers down the spine of democracy.
One can chuckle at the claims made by the Biden bus driver, who felt “under attack” during the incident. With a driver who must have a PhD in melodrama, it’s no wonder the story reached embarrassing heights. The lawsuit may have been thick with theatrics, but Steve Ceh made it clear that they were merely victims of unfortunate circumstances caused by some frantic lane-switching from Democrats desperately trying to escape a simple parade.

Cisneros, the lone defendant to face financial penalties, is gearing up for an appeal. His argument hinges on the staff member’s ridiculously reckless driving that somehow turned into a courtroom showdown against what he claims was political targeting. For all the legal jargon spewed in court, it sounds like this case could have been settled with a friendly chat—or at the very least, a traffic ticket. Instead, they ended up bringing out the big guns of historical legislation that was originally designed to protect against actual violence—because apparently, traffic jams now qualify as horrific threats to democracy.
The drama continued to escalate with the Ceh couple asserting their grassroots organizing efforts for Trump events equated to being wrongfully snared in this legal mess. Of course, Randi Ceh’s role as a Facebook group admin placed a target squarely on her back, leading to accusations that laughably framed her as a ringleader of such grand political shenanigans. In a world where all it takes is a little social media attention to lead to a courtroom saga, it’s a cautionary tale for those trying to rally supporters for any presidential candidate in this age of hyper-partisanship. The glaring truth is that for the Texas trio, they’re echoing the same struggles as former President Trump: being relentlessly pursued by a legal system seemingly weaponized against them. Now that’s a conspiracy theory worth considering.
