I think it was less about the name calling and more about the guy expressing disdain for those trying to get involved in the affairs. I've never really heard any concerns about Trump cancelling a meting like this, more that he would be the one doing the name calling.
That being said, this was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If he had gone after what was said then the people questioning his decision now would still question it. They would be calling him weak and submissive for going.
