I too would rather be in Florida playing golf.

Let them have their own damn party. I do not give a shit.

Maybe he's packing his bags to hightail it to Uruguay or the Congo.

Normally they've been announced by now, but it seems no one wanted the gig.

We need every great comedian in the country there. I can't imagine any more fun than that. You know he will be watching. We can have Alec Baldwin portraying Trump.

No that's' not it. Maybe he talked Melania into peeing on him. No that's not it. Oh, I know, he's a chicken shit and knows he will never ever be able to make this dinner as good as Obama did. What a loser.

news organizations won't, thus embarrassing him with a puny showing, like at his inauguration.

He is just jumping before being pushed.

He can only perform in front of his drooling worshipers. Sure, Bannon might write him some material, but how many "A Jew and a Muslim walked into a bar" jokes would they tolerate before the escargot starts being tossed and someone yells "Give him the hook!"?

Sorry, Donnie. You're just not funny. Baldwin is funny. Steve Martin is funny. Lenny Bruce was funny. The plague was funny. BUT YOU'RE NOT FUNNY!!!
