I'm not really understanding the article. Does it mention he was asked to host this year and declined? It almost seems like he's putting it out there because

A. He's trying to build controversy so that he's asked and can either publicly decline or "relunctantly" accept and say that he only did it under the condition that he could say whatever he wanted.

Or B. He asked and they turned him down so he's saying he never wanted to anyway.

It all sounds fake. He has all the connections he needs to be able to host.
