Yet another reminder that Donald Trump is a weak little manchild whose fragile ego cannot withstand even the slightest amount of criticism.
Unless he has the entire room giving him a handjob, he cant handle the stress.
Given the seer amount of steel needed to create the necessary number of tweezers it would probably help to stimulate the American economy.
“Special Snowflake flakes out on event, fears criticism will ‘hurt his feewing’”
it's because he knows he'll never receive as much positive feedback as obama did there and his little ego can't take it
I think it's also because he understands that Obama, unlike himself, knew how to take a fuckin' joke.

I'm not a licensed psychologist and even if I was, I could not properly diagnose Trump without in-person interviews. However, having said that, I think there's a pretty fucking massive case for the President to be assumed to be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or at least he manifests so many of the symptoms through unrelated ego needs that it's an effective approximate substitute while talking about his shit.
Narcissists have a two-track mind:
Avoid being exposed to shame through any means possible
Win the attention and admiration of the people in your immediate presence at every moment
You see this in Trump lying about obvious things like making Sean Spicer go before the press and lie about the size of his inauguration crowd, lying about having the best popularity ratings or some other totally-wrong claim to being the best President, and especially carrying around the Electoral College map for months after the election so he can remind everyone that he won the election (look at me aren't I great? I need attention, tell me I'm a good boy).
Anything that could go wrong is someone else's fault; everything is scapegoated onto someone else. Trump will actively distance himself from any failures and immediately invents a narrative for himself that isolates him from the stench of shameful failure as deeply as possible.
So yeah, there's no way he will ever voluntarily attend a roast dedicated to him. To a narcissist that's like volunteering for a couple hours of public waterboarding. He'll only attend when he has ironclad assurances that all of the jokes will be at his enemies' expense and not his, which is pretty dictator-tier if you ask me.
