Yes they did. He made it very clear that he wanted massive tariffs which by necessity would mean that people would have to pay massive taxes on everything they want to buy. Before the election experts were very clear that those tariffs would cost the consumer and importer. People were told that he wanted to go crazy with tariffs, they were repeatedly told that tariffs would take money out of their pockets, and they voted for that. Nobody should be surprised by that now.

He also falsely claimed - and his supporters, as is typical, accepted those claims - that other countries would eat that cost.
They voted for tariffs. They were willfully ignorant on their being a tax.

That's the only leverage Congress has over the president.
Republicans control Congress and the presidency, so there's nobody else to blame here.

Those who were not paying attention last time shouldn't have been allowed to vote this time, but... That Would be Bad, mmmkay.
