I can see how you would interpret it that way if you don't pay attention to lane crossings. But the white SUV crossover is merging into the truck and the truck has nowhere to go...so it pushed back. What would you have done? Decelerated rapidly? Physical contact was made no matter what the black truck driver did. As for the driver bragging about it, so what? He did slam into the vehicle trying to push him off the road. All the Trump vehicles were stopped in the video you linked. I think we should focus on the actual video of the incident, it helps keep us honest.

I wouldn't have been tailgating a political opponent, that's for sure. Slowing down would have been a smart move. Leaving an appropriate length behind that bus would have been a smart move. What I see in a video are a bunch of Trump supporters attempting to intimidate a political opponent. If that doesn't terrify you, you might be too far gone.

Your pains to defend outrageously fascist behavior by the drivers supporting Trump is terrifying to me. I even agree with you that the white car crossed into the right lane, but the idea that this discussion is about whether that car crossed the lane or not is psychotic. Zoom out just a minute. Before you have any cars crossing any lanes, you’ve got a caravan of cars for one political candidate aggressively flanking and boxing in a bus for the other candidate and trying to intimidate any drivers associated with that campaign. That is so deeply, deeply wrong and horrific. There is utterly no excuse for it. How can you not see that by acting as if there is any semblance of a legitimate discussion to be had about the microscopic details of the white car changing lanes that could in any way mitigate the horrific election interference that the black car and others are perpetrating, you are yourself literally (not hyperbole) tacitly supporting fascist repression of fair electoral processes. Your comments here are disturbing to a literally violent degree.
