... they don't respond/react to any of his inane tweets.

They can't defend the indefensible. They can't come up with a plausible excuse for his childishness. They have no way of spinning his offensive statements into anything other than what they are.

The PTB in the GOP know Trump is an idiot. They know he can't be coerced, cajoled, or manipulated into not demonstrating that idiocy on a daily basis.

So they just ignore it - hoping that everyone else will ignore it, too.
