It kind of is actually as long as you're not opposed to explaining
what he's wrong about.  The calculated numbers presented as if they
are actual foreign tariffs are really kind of "bottom line" numbers

The calculated numbers were lies to begin with, they omitted the service numbers in the calculations. take the EU for an example, the EU has a goods surplus of roughtly 150 billion with the USA to begin with, that was the numbers Trump played, however it has a 250 billion minus in services so in summary the net income from the EU was to the USA was 100 billion. The USA has become a service heavy country by omitting that you basically lie to your own population!
Now if you put a rift into this trade you might gain some manufacturing but the overall loss will be more but even that is questionable because the irrational behavior will cause the USA to be isolated and former trading partners will make trading routes around them!
