brush off

Walz's camp shared a statement on the president's brush-off, saying that it was not the time to score points off your political enemies.

Vice President JD Vance set the stage for a potential brush-off of the judicial branch earlier this month, saying that the Trump admin may well ignore orders they don't agree with.

That gentle brush-off didn't keep Trump from congratulating the couple on Thursday after the birth of their youngest daughter.

"I was told that things would be looked into. It was very vague. It was a brush-off."

“You’re not on the list,” he was told twice by a Troubadour doorman, and given the brush-off.
