It's like boxing or MMA, it's no longer about not getting punched in the face, it's about how to you respond after getting punched in the face.
Step 1: Admit that you just got punched in the face.
Step 2: Get up and fight back.
If you're Trump:
1. Don't admit you got punched, just say it's a scratch.
2. Accuse anyone who says you got punched of being fake news.
3. Talk about your next fight and how you're the best fighter ever.
4. Pass out, but tell everyone you just slept.
5. Tell people you hit yourself practicing.
6. Admit that you accidentally got punched in the face, but it didn't hurt.
7. Fire your trainer because he didn't know what he was doing.
8. Blame the fighter from the previous match. He left the mat dirty and slippery.
9. Ignore the reports that you actually were seen golfing during the time you said you were training.
10. Categorize all those who deny you're the best fighter ever as people who are the enemy of the sport.
11. Demand people give you credit for taking the punch stronger than any other fighter has ever taken it.
12. Get up and fight back the applause you so rightly deserve.
