>The problem is that the product loses competitivity due to price increase and it often becomes not worthy importing anymore.
For most goods the US imports, there is no domestically produced alternative which is price competitive even with the tariffs he's suggested so far. 500% tariffs might, perhaps, make some domestically produced goods competitive with imports. But long before domestic production restarts, much less replaces imported goods, most americunts' living standards will return to the feudal age. They'll revert to a pre-industrial society standard of living. For years before domestic production restarts.
And domestic production can only happen if, in addition to massive, massive tariffs, the government takes an active role in reindustrialising the US, using means of production purchased and imported from China, South Korea and various other machinery exporters. It's almost certain that the US cannot reindustrialise while remaining a for-financial profit operated society and certainly not without nationalising banks so they can end consumer credit creation which funds consumption of imports. So basically without at least partly renouncing capitalism. And even if they do everything right, there would be a year or two of very painful decrease in living standards for Americunts. Which, obviously, will mean lost elections and change of course. There is no way for them to become an industrialised society again except by moving away from capitalism and representative democracy, at least in part. Because their cargocultist population will not be willing to cope with the 1 to 2 years of very severe poverty and scarcity.
