Yes. Tariffs are extortion. Tariffs are theft. Tariffs are slavery. If Trump negotiates the elimination of tariffs, that would help to make America great.

The problem with trying to get a wrong of taxation by tariff to make a right of supporting a manufacturer is that there are unintended consequences. For starters, you might only be helping a single person, a wealthy factory owner, increase profits. And of course you are helping the one person who clearly doesn't need any help.

Of course China's tariffs against the USA seem to actually be less than 5%, so what Trump is actually trying to do is adjust trade deficits and not tariffs, by getting manufacturing investments into the USA. That is another can of worms entirely.

Tariffs as protectionism are about elites helping elites, with some theoretic additional benefit of money possibly trickling down from the ultra-wealthy to the middle class. Personally if I were to try to help someone I'd focus on people who are not billionaires as the people to help.
