No. Tariffs are not considered to be propressive. They drive up consumer prices and mostly benefit manufacturers and investors.
"progressive" is a rather vague term. One could argue that Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were the two progressive Presidents, which would make Wilson the second one.
The progressive presidents were plagued by the muckraker of the media. The name muckraker for the aggressive journalist was coined by Theodore Roosevelt.

Several U.S. presidents have raised tariffs throughout history, notably during times of economic distress or to protect domestic industries. President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930, which significantly raised tariffs on many imported goods. More recently, President Donald Trump implemented tariffs on steel and aluminum imports in 2018, citing national security concerns and the need to protect American jobs. Other presidents, such as William McKinley and Franklin Pierce, also raised tariffs during their administrations for various economic reasons.

Republican Presidents often support high tariffs as a means to protect domestic industries and jobs from foreign competition, aiming to bolster the economy and promote American manufacturing. Tariffs can stimulate local production by making imported goods more expensive, encouraging consumers to buy domestic products. Additionally, high tariffs can generate government revenue and serve as a tool for negotiating trade deals. This approach aligns with the Republican emphasis on free enterprise and economic nationalism.
