Trump is a blowhard, we all know that.  But he’s also a coward.  He skipped the White House Correspondents dinner in April, which was understandable, since he simply can’t deal with withering attacks on his lies and mob-like lifestyle.  But he also skipped the Kennedy Center honors, which is being aired tonight on CBS.  Why did he do that?  Because most artists won’t tolerate his bullshit, and knew that few people in the theatre respected him and that many attendees would boycott if Trump infested the ceremony with his rapacious presence.

Rather than face the music, Trump chooses to hide out in one of his properties, raking in money from foreign government officials and sycophants. It’s so embarrassing to be an American today where the president hides from critics while tweeting from his iPhone while sitting on the toilet, insulting every single institution which is precious to our culture and society.

He can’t leave too soon.
