First off, Ron doesn't want tariffs. He'll accept low, uniform tariffs as a less obtrusive alternative to other forms of taxation. To state that he wants them is wholly disingenuous.
Secondly, the purpose of low, uniform tariffs is NOT to give an advantage to domestic producers. That's what protectionist tariffs desire. And they attempt to accomplish that at the expense of the American consumer. The purpose of low, uniform tariffs on all imports, regardless of product or nation of origin, is to provide the federal government with some minimal operating revenue so they don't have to resort to other forms of wealth extraction from the American public (income taxes, debt, currency devaluation).
You can't just say all tariffs are the same and Ron wants them. That's a demonstrable lie.
