If you ignore it, it will go away. If it doesn't, say it never happened:
The WH says President Trump has been briefed on the alleged Russian bounties to kill U.S. soldiers. And, the WH is planning to brief the Gang of Eight on the issue today. But, Trump is calling it all a hoax. https://t.co/Ez4qsYewgq— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) July 1, 2020

I suppose we've just been lucky because of how incompetent he's been.
See this, for instance, written the night of Trump's inauguration (although our warnings dated to the start of last election):https://t.co/y84MB2yWgY— Aunt Emma (@yourauntemma) July 1, 2020
Then again, that's probably how he got elected: "What harm can he do?"
