Weird. The media narrative last night regarding President Trump’s visit to Pittsburgh seems to have missed this moment when staff at UPMC Presbyterian hospital excitedly greeted him, Melania, Ivanka and Jared and thanked them for the visit. Check it out:

Pennsylvania’s Democrat leaders should take note of what actual Pennsylvanians think of the president’s visit:
Trump Heads to Pittsburgh Hoping for Unity, Some Officials Refuse to Attend. Unbelievable. https://t.co/MlL2iZ8UPj

More video from the visit via Trump’s twitter feed:
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

As for the protest, there’s more to that, too:
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
