Crucify him!

I wouldn’t go that far. But some damage control is needed here. Trump doesn’t quite have the likability factor that Reagan had, but he (Trump) comes close when he wants to. Apply that here.

I’m still on my first cup of coffee, so I’m not quite sure how that damage control would be done. But it shouldn’t be an apology (Gibbs’ Rule #6). Just a brief explanation to reassure the base.

Then let it go.
