On Saturday, Pres. Donald Trump announced that he would not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and Twitter users had a field day joking at the president’s inability to, well, take a joke.

Perhaps Trump was traumatized by what happened at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner at which then-Pres. Barack Obama made Trump the butt of several jokes after Trump’s very public efforts to delegitimize and humiliate him by way of the “birther” canard and a demand to see Obama’s college transcripts.

Trump to the media: You're not breaking up with me. I'm breaking up with YOU. https://t.co/qza1fAMbTD

.@realDonaldTrump The good news is that if Trump wants to avoid places he's being made fun of, he'll never be able to go anywhere again.

Maybe Frederick Douglass can take Trump's place.

Trump would be first the president to skip the WHCD since 1981. Reagan planned to attend, but had a pretty good excuse – he'd been shot

This is equivalent of calling a girl ugly because she didn't want to date you. They were about to boycott you anyway. Deuces https://t.co/mAm9nu2Bvv

@realDonaldTrump Emperor Trump can't take a joke? Precious snowflake runs the world's greatest nation but humor is too much for him. Weak!

b) there is only one exclamation mark
c) it is mature pic.twitter.com/fY7OCaosUd

And thus ends the strange experiment known as the WHCD?
