Jabbing Trump and then ignoring his petty comebacks will hurt him more than an outright war of words.

For every one Pelosi or Schumer jab Trump will go overboard by a factor of ten.

He has to get feedback that his comebacks sting. They don’t, so no need to give him any.

Being ignored just drives him over the edge.

Trump can be counted on to lose his shit. It doesn’t take much.
