Not even close.
Two neighbors both raise chickens for a living. When they go to market? Neighbor A sells them at market value, say $10. Neighbor B has to pay a tariff of $5 per chicken, so he either has higher priced chickens or makes barely anything after selling them.
So B can try to get tariffs on A too, is that evil somehow? To ask for a level playing field?

The #1 reason why there's a US- China trade deficit is because of huge Chinese tariffs on US goods.
