Three days after a shooter opened fire at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, killing 11, President Donald Trump visited the site of the shooting and a hospital where some of the injured are recovering.
When asked the day before what his goal in traveling to the city was, Trump told Fox News that he was going there to pay his respects.
