The tariffs are taxes placed on Americans by our government who elect to buy goods from China.
Lets assume you're correct. Tariffs cause price of said good to incease.
Now at new tariff price of said good could be made in the good ole US of A at the same price or cheaper and create jobs here . What say you chinaman?
Plus in times like we are in at the moment we wouldn't be wondering where we are gonna get our shite from. Medicine ring a bell? But some people are to dense to understand

An American with a good job vs exporting his job to a communist country that can do it for a few pennies less because of their human-rights abuses and lax environmental laws. Also we get to depend on that country for our plague medicine API’s.

I say you are naive as hell.
The steelmakers are not making a lot more steel than they were when Ross got his protectionist tariffs passed. They simply went up on price to world prices plus 25% and used the difference to buy back stock (at least in the case of USX).
Today steel is cheap but Americans still pay more for steel than do Mexicans. American companies seeking to sell their products containing steel on world markets are at a distinct disadvantage.
May be over your head.
