Hey, ~ 6 or so years ago you were fully onboard with buying Goya brands when they supported Trump.  Don't turn your back on Goya now !!!

Note:  Avocados are way overrated.  A few cool jingles and everybody now loves avocados.

We'll see what happens and whether he goes through with it.

That’s what happened last time Trump tried the tariff nonsense. He ended up having to bail out a bunch of farmers.

USA Farmers are subsidized $30 billion per year.  Being a farmer in this country simply means owning a bunch of land to reap the government benefits of getting huge handouts paid by us taxpayers.  Such a joke.
