I’ve only heard one narrative from MSM: “President Trump isn’t welcome in Pittsburgh! There are protesters everywhere! People don’t want him there! He’s totally an anti-Semite!”
There are so many variations of that. BTW– the people who were protesting him are actually anti-Israel and pro-Palestine.
WAIT, so you're telling me that the people who organized the protest of Trump visiting a synagogue where Jewish people were slaughter are rabidly pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, and believe Jews must end their "occupation" of Palestinian land? That's IRONY.https://t.co/dKFB7GKKhj

That big anti-Trump protest today in Pittsburgh was organized by a group called IfNotNow, whose goal is to end "the Israeli occupation" of Gaza & the West Bank. Their coalition today incl. Democratic Socialists of America & the Int'l Socialist Organization https://t.co/abet1VyT7p pic.twitter.com/M4cA6iGaiY

The Forward first noted the involvement of IfNotNow. Their 3pm protest was by far the larger of the two that were held. https://t.co/Icetl3G4Lz pic.twitter.com/2H3Tsm8n4M

Big shocker there.
Still, POTUS and FLOTUS visited the area, and this is a moment you WON’T see on MSM.

So sweet.
This shows the stark difference between the mirage of divisiveness that cable news portrays of America, and real life.
Some ppl like Trump. Some don't. Some think it's cool to meet the Prez & fam, regardless of whom.
Neither stance makes them bad ppl.pic.twitter.com/grFGo5Mx4q

We see so often the President and his family so vilified by so many in the media we sometimes forget how beloved he is by the American people

Outstanding candid moment. Kudos to the hospital staff in Pittsburgh for your life saving measures and the comfort given to all patients every single day! We love you too!!

There was clearly immense respect on BOTH sides. Loads of respect for POTUS, and loads of respect for the people who regularly save lives.
Here’s a brief recap from Trump:
Melania and I were treated very nicely yesterday in Pittsburgh. The Office of the President was shown great respect on a very sad & solemn day. We were treated so warmly. Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. The Fake News stories were just the opposite-Disgraceful! pic.twitter.com/9B9HgCF1G9
