Can we replace the word "tariffs" with "the invisible hand of the market"?

The response to the tariffs is the invisible hand. Youre thinking of tiny hands that are responsible for the tariffs

The invisible hand is a term that hides the very real decisions made by those who have outsized influence on the economy

No. Not even close to what those terms mean. If there was a useful comparison it would be to replace tariffs with Sales Tax. Every single time anyone even mentions Trump's tariffs we should be calling them Trump's massive sales tax.
