Trump Pittsburgh visit: ‘Hundreds’ protest as president and first lady visit Tree of Life synagogue

President Donald Trump made a controversial visit to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania just days after a gunman entered a synagogue there and murdered 11 worshippers.

The president was met with hundreds of protestors, with the trip coming as the community mourned their lost loved ones, and just as burials began.

The attack on Saturday has sparked a national conversation around the president's rhetoric, and Jewish leaders have suggested that the president has not been strong enough in denouncing anti-semitism in the United States as president. At least one mourning family has declined an invitation to meet with the president, and the mayor of the city has asked that Mr Trump not come to the city.

The president and his allies, meanwhile, have pushed back on the notion that he in any way fosters an environment that is sympathetic or allowing of hate based upon religion and race.
