[quote]WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will not attend the Kennedy Center Honors in December, the White House announced on Saturday, after several honorees said they would boycott a White House reception before the show. The Kennedy Center also said in a statement the White House reception "will no longer take place." The White House said the president and first lady would not take part in the Kennedy Center Honors "to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction."

[quote]"In choosing not to participate in this year's Honors activities, the administration graciously signaled its respect for the Kennedy Center and ensures the Honors gala remains a deservingly special moment for the honorees," Rubenstein and Rutter said.[/quote] "grace" and "the trump administration" don't belong in the same sentence. he isn't going because he's worried his feelings might get hurt.
I love how the only time Trump leaves the WH is to either go to one of his own resorts or a backwater conservative town because nowhere else will have any of his shit lol
From CNN [quote]A Kennedy Center official said this will be the fourth instance of a President not attending the event. President Jimmy Carter skipped it in 1979, President H.W. Bush in 1989 and President Bill Clinton in 1994. However, those presidents came during other years while they were in office, the official said.[/quote] Granted, I feel that Trump's reasons are far more selfish than anything else
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;52592392]From CNN Granted, I feel that Trump's reasons are far more selfish than anything else[/QUOTE] Carter skipped it because of the Iranian hostage crisis, Bush and Clinton because they were attending conferences in Europe Trump is "just because"
[QUOTE=Dave_Parker;52592575][quote]after several honorees said they would boycott a White House reception before the show.[/quote][/QUOTE] sorry, allow me to rephrase carter, bush and clinton skipped the event due to presidential business. trump is skipping the event because he's a pampered manchild with a penchant for sexual assault and white supremacy, who makes enemies by the second and, for an "image" person, is hopelessly inept at maintaining his own, thus creating the very controversy he is now avoiding.
