update 11/3/18:
Trump lies of his Pittsburgh trip: "It was so respectful of the office of president, and if you got home…read the New York Times or the Washington Post or if you saw any of the networks, you would say it was violence, it was, it was riots." Nobody covered the protests as riots.

What a narcissist! Instead of talking about the victims, he talks about how he was received. No official, Democrat or Republican met him at the airport. Sad!

The point of the trip was supposed to be Trump showing respect to Pittsburgh, not the reverse https://t.co/fkqVD2I6On

I've unfortunately covered a lot of shootings over the years. I don't really remember an elected official, aware that they were so controversial, putting out a video of themselves at a crime scene to celebrate their own performance. https://t.co/g3ZcmFWMPS

Publicly ranking a grief scale for political figures during a domestic terrorist attack as a form of electioneering is a new one > https://t.co/oMZEq1huEu

The Democratic congressman who represents the area said Trump nor the White House even reached out to him. "We received no call or correspondence of any kind." The mayor asked Trump not to come until the funerals ended. https://t.co/iVpou8vVXs https://t.co/9f21ZcloWY

As a reminder, most local officials declined to appear with Trump yesterday. https://t.co/AqWWLM2R25

No judge, no policy, no regulatory rollback, no tax cut is worth this. Words cannot express how awful this is: taking a massacre and using it to whine. This is not about partisanship, it is about decency, and this is indecent. https://t.co/2iZFUEVX8H
