After years of telling Americans not to worry about high milk, bread and egg prices, the media is panicking over a threat to their staple: guacamole.

NBC News’s Chuck Todd warned Wednesday that President-elect Trump’s plans for tariffs will likely increase the cost of avocados, calling it a “guacamole tax.”

“If this slaps on, it’s a guacamole tax. We get most avocados in this country … from Mexico. If you enjoy guacamole, be prepared to pay a higher tax for it if these tariffs go through,” Todd told MSNBC’s José Díaz-Balart.

Now maybe I’m a little biased because despite living for nearly a decade in Southern California, I’m not sure why anyone would even eat the stuff, but when your problem is being able to afford guacamole, instead of milk, bread and eggs, you have a coastal elite problem.

California used to produce a whole lot of avocadoes, but since Democrats took over and decided to wipe out the water supply for farmers and destroy dams to create artificial droughts, the avocados either come from Florida or Mexican cartels.

And it’s the Mexican cartel avocados that Chuck Todd and the rest of the media gang are panicking over.

We don’t need cartel avocados and if the price for rebuilding our economy and ending mass migration is more expensive guacamole, that seems like a pretty good deal to me.
