So since the Mexican product is too expensive, I think I'll buy the American made product for cheaper. Thinking so will everyone else. And who's gonna out source work to Mexico when they will inevitably be hit with a 20% tax that they will have to absorb or attempt to sucker the consumer into paying.

Your funny.
NAFTA was the trade agreement that,put Mexico on an even playing field with the US, and they have learned from the big boy on the block as far as the true meaning of a free market, and they ain't going back.
Trump wants Mexico to pay for his wall? How about Mexico imposing a tariff on every single gringo that want's to go to Cancun.
If the US thinks they can play Mexico as suckers, they are sorely mistaken, as Mexico has already stated they are interested with expanding trade agreements with China, which both will be happy to do to give Trump a good old fashioned fuck you, you don't rule the world.anymore.
Globalization is here to stay, and maybe Trump wants to stick our head in the sand and think that the world will beg the US to participate in their economies, but the US ain't the only game in town.
So no, Mexco isn't going to lie down and take it, they will just sell their stuff elsewhere, like Canada, or China or Europe.

Fuck Trump

per capita avocado consumption is at 7 pounds. that's 7 pounds of avocado per year for every person in the united states, on average. or 1,155,000 tons of avocados consumed annually in the united states.

we grow 200,000 tons of avocados ourselves. if we ate them all and exported none of them, we'd still need to import 955,000 tons of avocados.

our 200,000 tons of avocados are worth $350 million, so 955,000 tons of avocados would be worth about $1.75 billion. 20% of that is $350 million.

so just in terms of avocados alone, american consumers just got stuck with a tab of $350 million dollars.

thanks, donald.
