On Tuesday, despite people's wishes, President Donald Trump traveled to Pittsburgh to pay his respects to the lives lost in the Synagogue massacre.

During CNN's Jake Tapper Tuesday show, national correspondent Miguel Marquez said that he was shocked at how 'how big' and 'how quickly' the protest against Trump's visit grew.


According to Marquez, there are two different protests taking place. Marquez said that protest was not planned 24 hours ago. The Tweets below illustrate how big the protest against Trump's visit truly is.

1. Thanks, rivers.

[FakeNoose]

3. CNN showing the protests in Pittsburgh

I'm watching local channel 11 WPXI (the NBC affiliate) and so far they haven't mentioned any local protests against Trump. If it weren't for this Raw Story tweet I wouldn't have known what's happening, but CNN is covering it.
Thanks for the heads-up!

[doc03]

60. WPXI 11 is a right wing Sinclair station nt

[talkingwithtrumpers]

63. Oy. Yes - turn off the Sinclair station.

This is the kind of propaganda the rightwing media uses - selective reporting. They wont' even mention bad news for the president. If at all possible I suggest NEVER watching a Sinclair station. Just switch to a different station if you can.
That's what I did when Sinclair bought a station in my home market. Blech. Turn off Sinclair.

[AdamGG]

72. They probably stopped reporting about the MAGAbomber when it became known who did it

[Ohiogal]

4. How long before

Melly tweets how astonishing that the people of Pittsburgh were so rude and didn't show proper respect for the President of the United States.

Good for you, Pittsburgh. Don't accept his crap.

[BigmanPigman]

9. She should see the jacket that she inspired...

I REALLY DO CARE ...Y DON'T U? That is perfection.

[George II]

45. Everyone turned their backs on them, so if the car passed that woman Melania would have seen it.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

51. +1

[SergeStorms]

58. I loved that!

Not that Malaria or her orange anus hubby would give a damn, but that's the sort of protest that makes a YUGE point! Congratulations to the young man or woman wearing that jacket!

[BigmanPigman]

67. I went to a protest tonight

and the Baby tRump balloon was riding a giant inflated bomb like in Dr. Strangelove. We were supposed to dress in military costumes. On the back of my friend's jacket I wrote that message in masking tape.

[SergeStorms]

81. Dr. Strangelove.

What a great movie, and what a great image: Baby Trump riding the A-Bomb like Slim Pickens! Slim Pickens actually had a brain though.

[Achilleaze]

5. Comrade Draft Dodger (R) Go Home

We know who you are.

[The Liberal Lion]

6. YES!

This is how MY hometown treats this orange fuck! Fuck him!

[Maggiemayhem]

22. My daughter just texted me saying military helicopter circling the city.

She lives corner of Bloomfield and Shadyside

[bucolic_frolic]

7. The Cheater is really on a roll this election season

Payback time!!

[Bfd]

8. One Sign Reads:

Donald Trump you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you fully denounce White Nationalism

Another adds,
..Until you cease your assault of immigrants and refugees

So damned proud of them. They speak for many on a week of unbelievable pain & life changing tragedy.

[Throck]

10. Trump was not in the limo

It was a dummy look alike.

[bearsfootball516]

11. Agreed, there was no way they were going to actually send Trump into a sea of a thousand protesters

[Hekate]

12. Source?

[Mr.Bill]

14. So the president of the United States

has achieved the status of having to sneak into an American city. Congratulations, Trump.

[NYC Liberal]

18. I remember Bush's first inauguration when there were so many

protesters that he couldn’t get out of the car and they had to speed away. His limo also got egged.

Funny how Republicans seem to “win” all the time despite being so hated.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

53. +1

i remember it well.

[Grasswire2]

55. Gawd that was a bitter, bitter day.

I'll wager some DUers were there. Or former DUers.

[CottonBear]

57. That was the day Skinner, Elad & EarlG launched DU.

Skinner ( David) had a big DU banner right across from the media cameras.

You can read the amazing history of that day in Skinner’s history of DU post.

Kiskiska (not sure if I spelled that correctly) was the very first poster and she still posts here all these years later!

[lagomorph777]

78. Sneaking into the city so he can host a Nazi rally and celebrate the massacre.

Goddamned pig.

[EleanorR]

33. If it was a dummy, then yep, that's him! nt

[doc03]

61. Trump is a Dummy nt

[Haggis for Breakfast]

13. It is beyond disrespectful that he even went there.

As the mayor said, Pittsburgh's focus should be on memorializing and burying the dead and comforting their families, not on president malignant narcissist/white supremacist. It truly reveals just how uncaring, unfeeling, unsympathetic he is, how little empathy and humanity he has and just how massive the size of his ego is.

I am so sick of him and his shtick.

[smirkymonkey]

43. This!

The man wouldn't know what decency was if it bit him in the ass.

[ck4829]

74. Indeed

[liberal N proud]

15. Power to the good people of Pittsburgh

[ailsagirl]

16. I love each and every one of those protesters!!!!!!!!

[Kurt V.]

17. i will be forever grateful to the demonstrators in Pittsburgh.

[kentuck]

19. Pittsburgh is the Gettysburg of this battle...

They stood up to the tyrant and turned him away.

Bravo!

[The Liberal Lion]

26. Yes indeed!

For how pessimistic I usually am I believe this is a turning point.

[Judi Lynn]

68. One of a kind event, for sure. I hope it got his attention, as worthless as it is. nt

[bronxiteforever]

20. Do you hear the people sing?

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?


This song kept going through my mind for the last few days. Bless the good people of Pittsburgh!

[orangecrush]

21. Proud Native of Pittsburgh Here

Steeltown people have a history of standing up to bullies and pricks, all the way back to the Homestead strike and Frick.

[SWBTATTReg]

23. Pittsburgh has won my heart, and I stand w/ them in their time of sorrow. RIP.

27. Look at the faces: very serious

resolved, committed. Resisting, even when grieving.

Thank you, Pittsburgh!

[barbtries]

28. please forgive me for this

but i want nothing more at this moment but to go to twitter and rub that fucking excuse for a president's nose in this. figure i'll tell him the crowd was bigger than his inauguration.

i know he never sees my tweets. i do it for my BP

[pennylane100]

30. You are being way too kind.

My wants are far more hateful, which is why I never post them. I just shout them out loud to myself.

[barbtries]

31. i often censor myself

and do not let pass my lips my true feelings about this president, these republicans, and what i hope the future holds for them. i tell myself it's not helpful to let loose so much negative energy into the world.

i am kind, and i bet you are too. it's these motherfuckers! destroying every goddamn thing they can think of. i really really hate them, and part of the reason i hate them so much is because they make me hate.

[hostalover]

40. Your last sentence....yes, that's it exactly. They make us hate.

[pennylane100]

64. I think we are both kind.

Actually I feel much better when I let the negativity out. It helps me to yell at the TV. However, my motto is "whatever works". Also, I hate them too.

[LittleGirl]

70. Bravo! They make us hate them!

Be kind is my motto. Hugs.

[Jedi Guy]

76. I try to remember one of my mom's sayings.

"Whoever angers you controls you." Another good saying is, "Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."

It's quite difficult some days, but I try to keep my emotions in check and deal with things rationally. Dolt 45 and his kooky cultists thrive on anger and hatred. Just witness how much joy it gives them to "trigger the libtards." Don't give them what they want.

[Paladin]

29. Thank you Pittsburgh. Well done. (nt)

[onit2day]

80. Trump finally gets a look at crowd not his campaign rally groupies

[MontanaMama]

32. Blessed are the soup makers.

What a community. Lovely people. Thank you Pittsburgh.

[mountain grammy]

34. Best thing I've seen all day

My love to Pittsburgh ❤️

[mahatmakanejeeves]

37. Thanks for the thought, no matter how unpopular it may be.

I hope no one alerts on your post.

[babydollhead]

39. It was a peaceful March of grief and solidarity. The city weeps.

[thbobby]

41. I agree with you

I am not Jewish, but innocents were slaughtered. I grieve for them, their loved ones, the Jewish People, and all of America. This is a personal tragedy and an American Horror Story, not an event to politicize.

[GulfCoast66]

47. Normally I would totally agree. And I still respect your view point.

But the horrendous slaughter was in itself political. No getting around that at this point.

The slaughter in the house of worship in Charleston was also political and it certainly had its own ramifications.

I see it as a case of righteous indignation.

[Cold War Spook]

49. Because he isn't there to pay respects.

He is the one that makes everything political. I have sat shiva too many times. If I was sitting it this week, I would not want him anywhere near me.

[PSPS]

62. The only "people" making this into politics is the trump gang. "Paying his respects?" That's a laugh

[warmfeet]

36. Force him into the ocean.

I really don't care.

[babydollhead]

38. We were there! As the motorcade came to a standstill,

We turned our backs. Then the sea of us, took a knee.

[hostalover]

42. How awesome!

[smirkymonkey]

44. K&R

Well done Pittsburgh! You make us all proud!

[Fiendish Thingy]

46. I'm sure the protestors were all paid by Soros and flown in from NY and California...

After all, Pittsburgh is Trump country, right?

[blue neen]

48. Pittsburgh is not Trump country.

...but, maybe you were being sarcastic.

[Fiendish Thingy]

65. Well, yeah...nt

[ZeroSomeBrains]

50. Amazing

I love the I really do care y dont u jacket. That thing is priceless.

[maxsolomon]

52. Trump's 1st foray into a Liberal section of a Liberal city ever?

I know he's never stepped foot in Seattle.

He was warned. He shouldn't be surprised. I'm sure he'll get great tweet fodder out of it, however.

[muntrv]

54. Who says Trump can't draw a bigly crowd?

[C Moon]

56. Trump hates Pittsburgh more than California now.

I salute you, Pittsburgh.

[MrQRO]

59. A Little Pride

I was born and raised in PA.
Was happy to leave, a long time ago, b'cuz it was a backwards hell-hole!

Pittsburgh, and that community, has made me proud again!
I'm happy that there are real, thinking, loving, people, there!

I wish I was there to stand with them!

Shalom!

[Progressive Jones]

66. Trump was told by Pittsburgh Mayor to stay away. Trump didn't.

Trump is an asshole who won't do what he's told.

[calimary]

69. Amazing images. Thanks for posting these, riversedge.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

71. so many peaceful protectors!

It inspires hope to see so many peaceful protectors standing between the victims and the victimizer.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

73. Thanks for the OP, riversedge. Warms the heart a bit when....

we're chilled to our core with horrific news.......... ..........

[geardaddy]

77. Awesome.

He thinks he can walk in wherever he wants and people will bow down to him.

[Marcuse]

79. At a wedding, he wants more attention than the bride. At a funeral, more than the corpse.
