Tariff is a consumption tax. The poorest spends most of their income on consumption like groceries, clothing, car parts, etc. The price of all of that is going up.

Next stockmarket wipeout reduces wealth of middle class the most, who in turn reduces spending on services that employee working class people.

Poorest always gets hit the hardest in any negative economic event because they are poor.

Aren't drop shippers finished with the recent tariffs, especially closing the loophole of de minimis?

It's the Chinese platform Temu and Aliexpress that abuses de minimis exemption shipping garbage quality items at low price.

What realistially can EU and Germany do?

EU is already withholding funding, although they have to pay Hungary every time they have to pass something in EU.

Do they even have the vote to suspend voting rights when they have Slovak PM going crazy as well?

The voters deserve the government they choose. This includes those who abdicated their responsibility by not voting.
