When national leaders fling tariffs at each other, isn't it the citizenry -- not the leaders, nor their corporate masters -- who end up suffering the most?

Don’t punitive tariffs harm actual people? Aren’t Chinese human beings like ourselves suffering because of the punitive US tariffs on China? Wouldn’t tariffs on Mexico have caused Mexican human beings like ourselves to suffer? Are Americans suffering due to retaliatory tariffs? Do Mexican and Chinese humans likely have it worse than Americans?

I realize that the people steering the ship care only about money. But you, mortal person with a beating heart, how do you feel about tariffs?
