We object to government picking winners and losers, but that’s exactly what they’re doing when they impose tariffs.

We don't object when our government favors the interest of US citizens over the interests of foreign citizens, in fact we expect it (though we don't always get it). Similarly, we should expect the US government to favor US over foreign industries by charging the latter a "pay to play" fee to sell their goods here. There is nothing in the Constitution or anywhere else on the books that promises no questions asked access to US markets to foreign companies.
