You want them NOT to convince him?
I'm saying that their empty posturing won't convince him.
Especially since he knows they'll cower the moment he lobs a mean tweet equivalent their way.
What will convince him, then? I think Republicans speaking out against tariffs is the only thing that possibly can
Already told you so: bribes. Maybe flattery and groveling from foreign leaders.
Bipartisan effort to give control back to Congress

That has as much of a chance of passing as a bill defunding the military. Pure posturing again.
You realize thee Congress controls tariffs, right? They have already introduced a bill stripping Trump of these powers. He said he'd veto it.
To overcome a veto (or to pass the bill at all) you need Republican votes unless you're going to suffer until midterms
De jure, sure, but de facto, Trump controls every Republican since a single tweet equivalent from him can result in them being successfully primaried and becoming victims of threats or even outright violence.
Trump owns them and they will follow his every kakistocratic whim off a cliff.
He knows it. They know it. Anyone who's paying attention knows it. I suggest you join the latter group.
Which is why Republicans going against him is important
