"SNIP"

Washington Post: “Less than 48 hours before the scheduled start of the global summit, the White House will not say whether President Trump will participate in the event, which is being hosted by Saudi Arabia but held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic.”

so the rest of the world would be better off without him participating.I can imagine him ranting that he really won and embarrassing the country even further than he already has.

He can't follow what the adults are talking about. He isn't going to get any ego boost out of it. He'll be ignored, and he knows that they'll all be giggling about him behind his back. Plus, it's hard to watch Faux Noise while pretending to take part in the summit. Good gods, he'd have to sit still without being fellated by his sycophants for hours at a time!

Exactly! Not only that, but he will be a laughingstock on the world stage. He know that a majority of them will be gloating.

and would only be a source of annoyance to the serious leaders of the other nations. Again his narcissism rules...rather than make an attempt at doing his job, he will be hobbled by fear of going into the meeting with everyone knowing he was massively rejected by the voting public. It is really sad that he has dragged America's dignity and respect to such a low point. Too bad Joe Biden is not in a position to attend in his stead. What a wasted opportunity to have someone there who would represent this country admirably.
