5. There's Possibly an Additional Reason

Recall, if you will, the “Greenland” tempest, followed by the “absurd” decision of Trump to use the Danish PM’s use of that “absurd” word as a pretext for cancelling his state visit to Denmark. There was a perfectly credible theory that Trump was concerned about the expected adulation of Barack Obama, and that he decided not to go to Denmark to reduce the attention that Obama’s will get. Now Trump decides not to go to Poland on the Baltic littoral (indeed Poland is almost next door to Denmark on that littoral) - for the exactly the same reason. Trump in Poland would just heighten the enthusiasm and increase the crowds out to honor a REAL US president. Trump hates that idea. So Pence goes.
