Relax. Breathe. Wait.

Anything. Donald Trump doesn’t mean anything he says. At least not for long, so try not to react. Relax. Breathe. Wait.

Contra Trump, nothing worth doing is easy, including ignoring the president of the United States. But ignore him, you must, lest he interpret your reaction as a challenge, which he’d, of course, aim to win at all costs — even if winning is losing. Give leveler heads and reality checkers time to change his mind, which, in fact, is easy.

Consider what’s happened recently on the domestic front. In the wake of another school shooting, Trump said it was time to take action on gun reform, including raising the minimum age of purchase to 21. He may truly have believed that reforming or strengthening gun laws was the right thing to do . . . until he didn’t.
