Because, he's still clearly traumatized from the time before when he had to sit still while President Obama did this to him:
So, he'd rather go to some undisclosed place out in Outer Dumbfuckistan THAT HE HASN'T EVEN PICKED OUT YET, to have his massive ego stroked and humped by a gaggle of losers masquerading as losers:

So, his staff has ONLY THREE FREAKING WEEKS to arrange a massive presidential visit to some venue that currently doesn't even know that he's coming, in order to arrange a crowd of his dwindling admirers to attend, hoping that it's not previously booked months in advanced, so he could stand up in front of that crowd of agitated white people in order to make them even more agitated, and avoid a situation where he would be required to sit quietly still and have absolutely no control over whether or not he'd be criticized, while members of a profession that he has repeatedly labeled as 'The enemy of the people' receive the acknowledgment of their accomplishments and accolades from their peers.
This is what happens when a petty, thin-skinned toddler-man is given too much authority and not enough accountability.

(15,144 posts)Trump could have laughed it off (I know, he never laughs) but because he's a vindictive prick, he has to get revenge.
Obama was awesome! Damn, but I miss him every day!

(24,032 posts)I am among those who think the masterful putdown delivered by President Obama played a large role in trump's decision to run for POTUS, and his relentless efforts to undo every single Obama accomplishment.
The retired Vanity Fair editor who described Trump as "gossamer skinned" knew whereof he spoke.

(16,937 posts)but I'm SO glad PRESIDENT OBAMA roasted him alive in front of the nation.
Yes, it is a driving force in what IQ45 decides to do (as if he really has a policy) but still, we should have worthy legislators that would recognize the bullshit and shut it down - but NO, we have the Republican party.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,376 posts)I've bought several of the books that have come out in audio format, including the one by Bob Woodward.
I don't recall which author said it, but he said it was absolutely obvious, with no ambiguity at all, that Trump literally HATES Mr. Obama. This was attributed largely to the fact that Mr. Obama was and still is universally admired and liked around the world, something Trump will NEVER attain. Trump knows Obama is smarter than he is, and was much better equipped to do the job of being president, a job Trump never really wanted in the first place.
The takedown at the dinner was epic and did upset Trumpy to no end, but his hatred for the former president runs much, much deeper.
This hatred BTW gives a certain amount of credibility to the rumored pee pee tapes! The author said there was no concrete evidence for the act, but he could certainly see where Trump would pay prostitutes to urinate on the same bed Obama slept in.

If you assembled all of Trumps shining moments, then could never match Obamas brilliance on this one night.
Sad.
