Trump to Travel to Synagogue Shooting Site on Tuesday [View all]

After being told specifically that he wouldn't be welcome, Needy Amin decides to go review his latest handiwork in person:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-to-travel-to-synagogue-shooting-site-on-tuesday/ar-BBP4IhP?li=BBnb7Kz

President Donald Trump on Tuesday will travel to Pittsburgh to visit with family members of the victims of a Saturday shooting at a synagogue that left 11 dead.

. . .

Trump will travel to the southwest Pennsylvania city over the objections of Jewish leaders, who said Sunday he is not welcome due to his sharp rhetoric, which they and other critics say spawns racial and religious emotions that can lead to violence.

I hope the synagogue closes and locks its doors against him.
