Actually this says the trademark is pending them proving they are using it and they aren’t so they keep filing extensions. Also it’s limited in scope to word processing (at there is lots of back and forth with the trademark office about that)

This seems to assume that everything can be imported or acquired domestically. But tariffs implemented in other countries are much more specific. It makes sense to use tariffs when you have the capability to meet your domestic demand with domestic supply. Indiscriminate tariffs catch things where demand far exceeds domestic production, whether that's raw materials, specific foods, or things that will take a long time to ramp up production domestically.
Ultimately, lots of things manufactured domestically will still increase in price because of the raw materials they require.

If you are manufacturing complex things with complex supply chains (like a Boeing 787 or a Caterpillar power shovel), the imports being expensive bit also drives up the price of exports.
But regardless of what happens with trade balance, it will also make borrowing money much more expensive, which is not great for the US since our debt to GDP ratio is over 100%.
It also removes another non-military weapon from our toolkit.
