18. He can use the ridicule

to dismiss Russian attacks altogether. If Democrats take it seriously then they can show it really isn't about party politics but genuine concern about the nation, just as it is.

And they can push Trump to do something about it and gain credibility from independents.

If the response is laughter, Russian attacks on US will be seen as hoax just as Trump and Putin want.

I'm afraid the response to his tweet has so far been exactly what he wanted.
