This nonsense keeps getting repeated. Countries use tariffs when they don't have more efficient tools of taxation, because all they can control and enforce is the border. Reliance on tariffs is the sign of being a developing country, not something that you aspire to.

For most of our country’s history the federal government was funded by tariffs, there was no income tax, the budget was (mostly) balanced, and federal spending was less than 10% of GDP.
