Can we replace the word "tariffs" with "the invisible hand of the market"?

No. Not even close to what those terms mean. If there was a useful comparison it would be to replace tariffs with Sales Tax. Every single time anyone even mentions Trump's tariffs we should be calling them Trump's massive sales tax.
