Your country didn't do anything. America is being run by a madman, quite simply. This isn't reflective of Americans broadly. The people who voted for Trump wanted cheaper prices, now Trump is making everything more expensive.
The next month is going to be very interesting. The business community is going to put huge pressure on Republican representatives to undo this, and Trump's own supporters will revolt once they see the new prices reflected at Wal-Mart.
I don't know how it's going to play out, but this isn't the end. It's just the beginning.
I wouldn't count out Trump sending out "tariff profit" checks (with his face of course) to all Americans. If he gives everyone a $2000-5000 check (undoubably paid for by borrowings not real tariff income) then he'll get a pass for at least a few months.
