Trump could hear the thousands of protesters down the street as he showed up unwanted and uninvited to the scene of the synagogue shooting.
CNN reported:
We’re less than a block away here, wolf. This is the protest. There are several thousand people in this protest. It was one protest and then two, and then we got to this area, and you can hear those sirens. That is the president now leaving this area. Protesters have been completely peaceful, but there are several different groups represented here. I want to show you. If you just turn around here, this area, that direction, is where the synagogue is.
All of those sirens you can hear are the commotion that law enforcement are making as the president is trying to leave. It has been completely peaceful, and at this point, it appears that they are actually trying to move these protesters out, which is going to be extraordinarily difficult as they expect to bring the president in this direction. They’re trying to back people up. We have seen little more than tears in this neighborhood today, and it has turned into anger as the day has moved on, as people realize that the president is coming. This protest wasn’t planned at all 24 hours ago. And in the last 24 hours, it has exploded. We weren’t sure how many people were going to show up here. There were very few people who had actually signed up to come, and now there are thousands of people on — here.

The point isn’t partisan politics. Trump has done nothing but sow division in the country as president, and a large segment of the Pittsburgh community didn’t want his divisive circus in their city at this time. Trump was free to visit after the midterm election, but a grieving city did not want his presence at this time.
Trump didn’t come to Pittsburgh to heal and unite. He came for his own selfish reasons of trying to get some good press. That’s why Donald Trump wasn’t welcomed in Pittsburgh today. Trump is part of the problem, and divisive presence only made a day of grief more difficult for the city of Pittsburgh.
