I don't necessarily disagree, but if this leads to no income tax it's a big win for the American people.

Its not like your argument, while I agree with it if you separate it out from income tax stuff, is settled. Here's the counter from Perplexity.
Protection of Domestic Industries: Tariffs shield domestic producers from foreign competition by making imported goods more expensive, allowing local businesses to thrive and potentially preserve jobs in vulnerable sectors26.
Increased Government Revenue: Tariffs generate tax revenue for the government, which can be used to fund public services or reduce deficits. For example, recent tariffs raised billions in federal revenue12.
Strategic Trade Policy: Tariffs can serve as leverage in trade negotiations, addressing issues like unfair trade practices or intellectual property theft. They may also incentivize foreign companies to relocate production to the tariff-imposing country36.
Economic Resilience: By reducing reliance on imports, tariffs can encourage domestic production and innovation, fostering long-term economic independence26.
Well, I've studied almost 4600 years back history of economics and coinage and never came across the situation where imposing more tariffs have lead to less taxes, it has been exactly the opposite.
If you study economics and politics, you most likely know that imposing tariffs will lead to less productivity and rising prices, that will lead to more demand for government intervention, which will always result to more taxes, not less.
