Unfortunately, gumishu. we aren't and, as usual, it's the poor who will be, indeed who are, most affected!
Just remember, the only crime in the US is that of being poor.
I used to have a small free-lance translation firm and before we sold out to a larger competitor,
we typically would allow our support staff to help themselves to note pads, paper clips, other incidentals
which might help out those not in charge, but still in need of such basic supplies.
Other businesses often did the same. However, far too many, above all law firms, would typically
fleece millions from their clients, while penalizing by firing needy employees for "taking" one legal
pad from the supply closet.
This is where I draw the line.
@jon, I agree! Trump doesn't.

True enough, however, the more pressing issue really should be medicines such
as Tetracycline along with other drugs and antibiotics which are imported and which
might be weakened if they contain cheapened ingredients!

Spices, rice, certain types of seafood.
Trump claims he wants to encourage "Made in the USA".
However, he has has a history of outsourcing native born staff
and hires solely Hispanic labor at Mara Lago.

They're not, gumishu, trust me! I live in the US and all the tariffs are doing is making Chinese imports more
unattainable for millions of poorer working class Americans who need medicines, food stuffs etc. from countries such as
China and India, on whose services we so desperately depend.

I see. And apparently you aren't aware that all those BREXIT supporters are now
no longer so keen on their decision. State of reality?? Whose, mate?
Originally, the idea of NATO was for the US to help Europe if and when
needed. Trump wants to blame the EU for the latter's so-called dependency,
not realizing that we all need each need one another.
After all, where would America have been without the RAF??

The point here remains that Trump's "trade wars" are immensely unpopular
throughout the EU!

Higher food prices, less availability of specialty items as well as generic import goods
such as fridges, cars and so forth.

Europe, among other countries Germany, is indeed feeling the effects of Trump's tariff war, Rich.
While "suffering" might well be a bit too strong, EU import items are definitely giving plenty of European
consumers sticker shock, believe me!

Not impolite, albeit familiar in any event! Most languages throughout the
world with which I'm familiar have a formal or distant vs. informal or intimate
form of address.
Modern Hebrew is a notable exception.

@Rich, for once here please stop playing dumb, although I must admit you did it rather well:-)
It's a purely symbolic gesture, the hand kiss, and is still appreciated by well-bred Polish women.

Import goods will obviously be more expensive because of the surcharge imposed
by the higher cost of exporting. This is not even sheer common sense, it's a matter of
basic economics.

In Poland, a native, run-of-the-mill fellow Pole needn't know English, this is self evident.
However, an American, for example, armed only with a knowledge of English, will
be at a severe disadvantage with zero Polish skills, no argument there. I certainly would have.

The hand kiss is charming, Rich, and you know it.
Have been told by Poles that the difference between the traditional
Austrian "Kuess die Hand, gnae' Frau!" and the Polish (unspoken) "Caluje Pani raczki!",
is that the Poles mean it and it's not just going through the motions.
