        DJT staying away from the Kennedy Center Honors, while a transparent move to avoid embarrassment, is nevertheless great for the honorees.

        Same as the correspondents dinner. He can't take the heat, but it will be better for the event if he doesn't go.

        Not surprised. What does this woman know about the arts? She'd be completely at sea! Best to sit at home and leaf through Vogue magazine.

        He only goes to his rallies, where his fans are stroking his ego. Such a little man. He's not going cause everyone was backing out.

        Melania is probably horrified that the Arts Council, which she chairs, resigned en masse. And he's not brave enough to attend without her.

        All the honorees were refusing to attend. This is not him canceling anything. This is @realDonaldTrump not wanting an empty room televised
