Manufacturing will (immediately) re-appear as if by magic, if we simply implement across-the-board import tariffs.

If import tariffs are raised precisely to the point at which it becomes slightly more cost efficient to produce and sell here, than to fire Americans.

We will see the true, invisible hand of the marketplace perform simple magic. Right in front of our eyes.

America first.

So... price the affordable stuff out of the marketplace. Interesting. Somehow, Americans will be happy to pay greatly inflated prices (where will they get the money for this??), all in the name of patriotism.

You talk about the "true, invisible hand of the marketplace", yet you propose tariffs, which is about as egregious a government manipulation of the marketplace as one can find.

Look: government is the PROBLEM, not the solution!
