The problem here isn't not going -- Bush-43 never attended either -- it's saying in the morning that you'll attend and then flip-flopping in the afternoon to say you are cancelling out over the phony pretense of a 3-week old domestic dispute that Trump himself both created and is now badly losing.
Isolating himself at home might of course be better for the US in the long run than going and making an ass out of himself again, but Trump's continued lack of any adequate representation of the US on the world economic stage has already cost us dearly in terms of global power and influence, and the instability advertised in welching on yet another promise is not at all a step in the right direction.
