That's the thing these people don't understand. The manufacturing sector employing large parts of the population in the US is never coming back, even with the assumption that tariffs will bring back manufacturing. That ship has simply sailed.
And besides, this is a trend that was happening in western countries anyway, i.e manufacturing being brought back, but with a much higher degree of automation.
And whether its robots or humans is immaterial really. The fact is that work was originally contracted out of the US for the sole reason of lowering costs and increasing profits. If by some miracle the manufacturing process does return to the US then the cost to the consumer will be considerably higher no matter who or what is making it.
