Domestic competition will mitigate those costs.

Those domestic producers depend on materials and components that are imported. Domestic production will also be highly negatively impacted by foxes increasing on everything from computers to steel to truck parts.
That is highly unlikely.

On the basis that it contradicts every past case of major tariffs on record?

On the basis that the US can’t compete with China on labor costs and production capacity in any feasible or pleasant scenario.
