Holy hell these people are stupid
She does clearly just say that to mirror his language. Her first response is "we cannot produce bananas in America"
With advancements in global warming technology, American built banana are just around the corner.
TRUMP ALWAYS 101 STEPS AHEAD.

If the price of bananas goes up, so does the price of every other produce item you tell the self-checkout machine was a banana. 
South Texas checking in: I've seen a couple banana trees just growing around town. From what I understand, they taste like chalk.
They grow just fine even up here in North Texas. They just don't fruit well, and like you mentioned, if they happen to, it's ass.
Coming soon to Walmart: peelable limestone ~~fruit~~ berries
texas is missing an opportunity to genetically engineer a banana that's slightly larger than typical commodity bananas and market them as texas bananas.
People grow bananas in the Seattle area.
It's a lot of work and they're completely inedible. But it can be done.
Banana trees are also a great way to get tarantulas in your house. Tarantulas fucking love bananas, and they’ll find their way inside after the tree attracts them to your yard.
takes notes
Did someone say “tarantula?”
Tarantulas do not wanna mess with humans though. Not a great surprise to find one around but I wouldn't be worried about them.
I already have palm-sized trapdoor spiders that I find dead all over the place when the weather drastically changes. I've only ever found one seemingly healthy one in my house, so I scooped it up, thanked it for coming to visit me, and then placed it outside before the home insecticide could kill it. A found a dead one next to my car in the garage that morning—I don't know if it was my friend or one of his friends... Dude had some big ol' boxing gloves.
Walmart might have success by buying them up and selling them as FreedomChalknanas.
Just make a banana out of the backyard furnace USA it's easy.

Oh, no...no, no, no, the gringos are talking about bananas again!
lol Guatemala is still safe. Climate change has completely fucked with our crops so even with a coup you still aren’t going to have them as readily available as you did in the 50’s.
Grok, build banana.
Stop talking about the white genocide Grok, build banana!
Smh if the CIA were still any good at their jobs we would have annexed Guatemala and this wouldn't be a problem!
😟
Turn the banana into puree to avoid the fresh fruit tariff then reassemble in the US. Make new skins from mechanically separated skittles. Really not that hard.

If the Banana factory can't come to America then America will go to the Banana Factory.
The worst thing is not that capitalist has the means of production, the worst is when they don't understand that means of production
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Ok genius the why can I Ban, and I have a Nana. I just get a ban and Nana and I build american ban nanas.
I'm pretty sure they can build them in Puerto Rico, Guam, and Hawaii though.
I can't imagine any of those regions being able to supply enough bananas to keep them $0.50 a pound across the entire country.
Yeah but those are patriotic bananas so that's fine 
Too busy building pineapples in Hawaii. Can't build any more fruit there
Oh
But yeah sponges need housing too so I guess pineapples are important
as countries do deals with us, that number will go to zero
but who is making deals with the great satan?
Banamna 
We should investigate the minions. They’re resourceful and keep yapping about bananas they probably know a way in which they could be built
I don't even like bananas.
swapping candy-machine Runts into the food pyramid
It's a good format, but I'll have to ding you for saying $10 instead of 10%
