Donald Trump will take office on January 20th, and at noon on that day the cause of high prices for goods will go from being "corporate greed" and "price gouging" to "directly the fault of Trump's policies."
As usual with the media, it's been made quite clear that a talking point about what Donald Trump has said about his plan for tariffs has been sent out and received.
Tragic consequences from the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas open border policies? Media mostly yawns.
Possible consequence of Trump's possible tariffs on Mexico? NOW, they're mad!
Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ NBC's @chucktodd: "We’re talking about tariffs, it is a guacamole tax. We get most avocados in this country come from Mexico. And if you enjoy guacamole, be prepared to pay a higher tax for it."

Upchuck Todd be like ...
OH, DAMN ... his yuppie avocado toast is gonna cost a few cents more!!!
We finally found a negative consequence the media cares about!
Burt Macklin (@BurtMaclin_FBI) ~ If only they showed as much concern for Laken Riley as they do about the price of their avocado toast.
Chuck Todd isn't alone either:
David Corn (@DavidCornDC) ~ I hope Trump voters won’t mind paying more for guacamole.
BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! You impotent c*nt ... Mexico desperately needs us far more than we need you. We'll just finish building the wall and effectively cut you off from our markets. We don't need avocadoes, Mexican beer, tequila, and all the crap produced in maquiladoras on the other side of the U.S./Mexico border. F*ck you. I am more than willing to pay a little more in order secure our southern border and stem the flow of fentanyl. At least, I will know I am spending more for a good cause, instead of spending more simply because of Democrat stupidity. And, in the not-too-distant-future, you, bitch, will be the one crawling back on your hands and knees begging to be cooperative towards our wants.
NBC New York (@NBCNewYork) ~ Tomatoes, avocados and America's favorite beer could all be impacted by potential Trump tariffs.

Mexico has been flooding our country will all sorts of undesirable, dangerous imports over the past four years. If we have to pay more for fruits and vegetables in order to reduce these bad imports, it will be well worth it.
Butch Connors (@Butch_1776) ~ The lefties are seriously going to compare a safe border, and stopping human trafficking to guacamole??? This is hilarious.
The TDS-addled media aren't going to make it the next four years, are they?
The recent election showed exactly how in touch with the common folk Dems and media are. Let's just say they've got some work to do.
