deals with
Copes with successfully
Deals with means to handle, manage, or address something that requires attention: The book deals with climate change, I'll deal with this later.
It suggests engagement with a matter—whether a problem, topic, or person.
To deal with someone can mean to interact with them professionally or to confront them: She's difficult to deal with.
The phrase often implies effort or difficulty: I can't deal with this right now.
