Trump’s Mexican Guac Block Finally Awakens Millennials
Nothing has stirred the ire of this politically apathetic demographic group like the president’s threat to tax avocados
He’s done it now. President Trump’s threat to put tariffs on Mexican imports, effectively cutting off America’s cheap supply of avocados, is sending shock waves through the heretofore politically apathetic millennial generation.
“Say what!? Avocados? That bastard,” said one millennial who was on her cell phone in a WeWork office in Manhattan. “If Trump blocks my guac, I’m actually going to vote, and vote against him, in 2020!”
Another millennial playing video games on his phone in a mall in Los Angeles heard about the avocado tax for the first time from this reporter. “Wait, Trump is going to remove avocados from Whole Foods? Can he do that? That really pisses me…oh, hang on, I’m about to get max level in Fortnite, later.”
