Twitter responded to President Trump's proposal to add a 20% tax on Mexican imports. This would raise avocado prices making them more expensive than they already are.

After the uproar on Twitter, Sean Spicer said that this is just an idea to help pay for the wall and is not an official plan. So don't worry about "going broke" for avocados just yet.
