When the Kennedy Center is "grateful" that you are "choosing not to participate" in this year's program, your presidency is effectively over

1. That may be the most decent thing PINO has ever done. n/t

2. Did not do it for a good reason, did it because he must be worshiped wherever he goes

and he knows everybody there will hate him.

5. Ding Ding Ding!

He's never done a decent thing in his life. His paper-thin skin just can' handle criticism. Remember Obama roasting him at the WH correspondent's dinner? Whod've guessed we'd be paying for THAT for the rest of our lives.

10. It's like why he won't throw out the first pitch at a baseball game.

He knows he'll get booed heavily and he won't be able to explain it away.

Which most sitting presidents will get a mixed reaction from the crowd at the first pitch. There will be some cheering and some booing. It's only natural. But Trump won't be able to process anyone booing. And given his low approval numbers, the boos will be much louder than usual.

3. The irony just hit of Trump going into a building named for a great man

his loserness would be really highlighted.

4. As a viewer I am also grateful. To say the least.

I'm glad I don't have to see that scumbag any more than I have to.

It's LOL funny that the recipients want to skip the White House invite.

6. Trump doesn't want to be booed.

7. Poooooor unloved Two Scoops

8. I love that they avoided using his name

and instead used "office of ...POTUS".

Hope he gets thousands of letters like that going forward.
