TBH, tariffs will enourage buying US-made when in the USA, like nothing else will. From memory, it even encourages a tourism-trade, whereby foreigners travel to the USA to buy US-made goods.
You want to buy imported goods in the USA? Pay more.
I bought 4 pullover shirts while abroad in the Philippines. The retailer was Japanese while they were manufactured in Vietnam. 2 were 5 bucks each and 2 were 7 bucks each. Very nice quality and not from China! For now I'm trying to avoid products from China.
When I was a kid and started working (late 60's early 70's), manufacturing was so rampant that you could quit a job in the morning and have a new one before dinner.
Maybe that's why I had so many (more than 2 doz.).
As long as we have income tax and a federal reserve Kiss MAGA goodbye. No such thing g as a great nation with slave taxes. And those aren't the only taxes that need to go.

Income tax is akin to slavery.
With the knock-on benefit of more US jobs to make the products. Win!
Ashully, I think it is a double, if not a triple win. Trump is right - so many countries were 'screwing USA' in the international trade deals.
Tarriffs.
Also, don't want to sell to USA, because tariffs? (Said no-one ever, but they might). Go ahead and find another market. All's fair.
It's brilliant.
"Income tax is akin to slavery."
...Income tax is slavery...
...there, FIFY...
...carry on...
...wags tail teasingly...
Don't want to pay tariffs then buy American. I'm tired of cheap junk from China and sup-par jobs.
"Don't want to pay tariffs then buy American"
...wonderful sentiment, but a foreign entity can only charge so much for a product for it to be competitive with an American made product...

I agree with this. I love Trump but there's things on the docket this time around that will make or break the entire support base.
Taxes being a big one for me.
Interesting that he did it in Las Vegas for people spend a lot of money.
"Interesting that he did it in Las Vegas"
...he could have said no taxes on "winnings"...
