The handy thing with Trump is that he doesn't really need an off-ramp.
It's possible he gets bored, declares victory and moves on. His supporters will celebrate and chalk it up to another brilliant move by Trump, he won't care and repeatedly say he achieved all his objectives, and the rest of the world will go along with it because it's a better outcome for all concerned.
It's like the Greenland thing. We're just weeks past the US bordering threatening to invade an ally, a European nation, to appease Trump's ego. Then he sort of gave up, and we all just went 'whatever' and moved on.
You have to treat him like a petulant child prone to the worst temper tantrums. One time, he says he'll invade allies, the next he starts a war with Iran, the next time he might try to ban elections he doesn't like, but each time you have to try and ride it out, knowing he'll get bored and move on.
