It’s 4:45, he, Melanie, Jared and Ivanka just entered the Synagogue. No unruly protesters, just some people walking around with some signs. The majority of Squirrel Hill and Pittsburgh appreciate the POTUS coming to pay respects in this National tragedy. As he should. He’ll also visit the wounded in local hospitals. How you can criticize this is beyond me.

How am I criticizing him for coming to Pittsburgh? Hell no. It's his freaking job, bambino. Who else is going to do that?
I think you're reacting to something else written by someone else somewhere else.
However, it is somewhat interesting that the Democratic Senator from your great commonwealth wasn't invited to join him. Especially when House and Senate leadership elected not to go with him.
