Trump’s wall could jeopardize our avocados, so now is officially the time to panic

Hooooly guacamole


As if things weren’t already bad enough with his threats of human rights violations and the tangle of hair-spaghetti perched on his head, Donald Trump’s plan to build a “big, beautiful wall” might threaten the very thing we hold most dear: avocados and their byproducts.

Yes, he has come for our avocados. The White House has suggested that a 20 percent tax on goods from Mexico could become a harsh reality in order to pay for that big, beautiful wall that will definitely, totally, bigly work.

Mexico is, of course, our leading producer of avocados in the world and a hefty tariff could result in the already-kind-of-pricey fruit costing even more. And you know what that means: brunch will cost more too.

Stay woke, friends.
