President Trump on Wednesday said he was "treated so warmly" in Pittsburgh and aired his grievances against media coverage of his visit to the site of the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history.

In a morning tweet, Trump dismissed "Fake News" stories about protests against his visit to the Tree of Life synagogue where 11 people were killed Saturday and insisted he was "shown great respect."

Hundreds of people marched in solemn protest around the Squirrel Hill neighborhood during Trump's visit on Tuesday, many carrying signs condemning the president's rhetoric. But the president described the protests as "small" and said they were "not seen by us, staged far away."

"The Fake News stories were just the opposite-Disgraceful!" Trump tweeted.

1. Who ya gonna believe - me or your lyin' eyes?

Jesus Jumping Christ, doesn't he know there are things called cameras? And they record things? Of course his cult members only ever watch Fox so they wouldn't have been shown the protests against Dear Leader - who had the stunning bad taste and insensitivity to show up while funerals were being held. And he saw for himself that in large numbers the people of Squirrel Hill didn't want his ugly orange ass anywhere near them, and his tiny narcissistic brain couldn't or didn't want to comprehend it.

24. "Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away." Was he been heavily sedated before his trip?

He makes Dubya sound like a genius.

It would be amazing if someone could explain how his "mind" works.

His parents would have been so proud at what the fruit of their loins has wrought during his lifetime. They only people who can stand him are all criminally insane, or fantastically slow and repugnant.

2. The fact that his only takeaway was to make everything about him....

...is exactly why he had no business going in the first place.

[PatSeg]

5. Exactly

Nothing about the victims or their grieving friends and families. The most important part of the day was how HE was treated.

airport because I’ve never felt so dissed and publicly humiliated in my life!!” Fixed it for ya LOSER

4. As usual orange big brother tells you to believe the exact opposite of what is fact.

But if he thinks that reception was warm he ought to be honored when he is led away in shackles to prison.

12. Well, he was treated very nicely by the Tree of Life rabbi.

The rabbi, with superhuman strength of character, was as dignified as he possibly could be ... given the circumstances.

Other than that, I didn't see much nice treatment from the people of Pittsburgh.

13. I can't believe he waited so long to tweet.
