'Maybe Frederick Douglass can take his place': Twitter rips Trump for backing out of WH Correspondents' Dinner

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.
