When those random countries lose, especially NATO ones, the one that benefits isn't US however. US always had access to whatever they want from them.This is more of the usual "shoot first, negotiate after" tactic that Trump became famous for during his first term.
Trump creates leverage by delivering pain, in the same way an interrogator in Guantanamo or a terrorist organization might. Pain, and the threat of more of it, is meant to induce panic and terror from his targets; which in turn, causes them to make mistakes - confessions, concessions, etc. - in an effort to stop the pain.
Remember that big, nasty kid in school that bullied other kids by punching them in the face and taking their lunch money? That's Trump. His goal is to create an environment in which countries are afraid of him and what he might do, so that he can then go to them and demand better trade deals. The tariffs are not meant to be the final policy; they're meant to be negotiated down through coercing countries to balance their trade with the US.
It's Trump telling the world, particularly those countries operating export based economies like Germany, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc. - we've got electric shock devices attached to your balls and we're going to keep pressing the button until you come to the negotiating table and make a better deal. If you don't, then we're going to increase the intensity.
He's relying on the fact that the vast majority of countries are cowards and will beg for relief, and then he can isolate and make examples of the few that dare to fight back. "Don't retaliate, take it, or it'll get even worse" - that's Trump's tactic, that's how he generates leverage. This is why, during his first term, most of his tariffs ended up being eliminated after negotiations; but the ones on China stayed, because China fought back.
What's going to happen is that Trump will halt the value chain climbing for many third world countries. By doing so, he creates the self fulfilling prophecy USA fears the most, that China will tie all global south (and small NATO) nations into an empire-colony type relationship and no one will ever get out of Chinese dependence.
The likes of Vietnam or India or even EU are relying on US' market as an alternative to China, Trump is right that they "exploit" US in the sense that they use US' fears about China to upsell uncompetitive products. With US market gone, a country like Vietnam can no longer develop up the value chain. This means there won't be any alternate suppliers for US, instead most countries will be deindustrialized and get their revenue from selling raw resources to China.
China is on per person level 10-100x more productive than nearly all other countries, especially third world countries with inconsistent logistics and weak energy supply. So if tariffs apply (nearly) equally globally, countries will instead just move all the difficult (and high value adding) steps to China.
Again, it is utter stupidity because as even Biden realizes, US needs the whole world to have a chance at take on China. Weakening the world, even if it can grant some short term concessions to US from a few countries, is extremely not worth it if it destroys the only chances US has to make a non-China dependent supply chain.
There is no monetary concession big enough to compensate for losing the cold war. You can beat and shock your own henchmen all you want, make them sign over all their savings and humiliate themselves for you, it's not going to help you when the rival cartel soldiers are already outside your door and about to turn your face into a persian rug. At this moment, US should be giving their "allies" concessions to prepare them for the coming storm.
There are two things which are priceless in geopolitics, that is loyalty and industry. Loyalty is that you have people willing to compete for you. Industry is so that you can actually give those people the tools they need to compete competently. Biden understood this. Trump doesn't, and that's why even US nationalists feel instinctive unease about his moves.
