Sure, if all you do is slap tariffs on all imports. That’s why decreasing the taxes and regulatory burdens have to happen at the same time.

+35% tariff - 25% (35%) corp taxes - cost of regulations - cost of Obama care + cost of acquiring material from US sources. Overall the price of the good could be a bit higher but more people will be working and be able to afford the increase.

We don't know how much "a bit" is and we don't know much "more" is.  In this example the only number we have is the 35% tax hike, and from experience we know that the last time tariff rates went up big time, employment collapsed.
