The pointer on Yahoo's homepage is the title I used, but then you get a secondary title once you click on link. No hijinks from me!
There are PLENTY welcoming of Trump, including the Rabbi of the synagogue that was hit with all this gunfire. And then you do have many that don't want him coming, and that's of course what the media covers.

Pittsburgh synagogue victims mourned; Trump to face protests
PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - Thousands of mourners on Tuesday attended the first funerals for victims of a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue, as protesters prepared to greet U.S. President Donald Trump amid accusations his rhetoric had encouraged anti-Semitic extremists.
More than 1,800 people from across the United States came to offer condolences to the relatives of David Rosenthal, 54, and Cecil Rosenthal, 59, at the Rodef Shalom synagogue in the Pennsylvania city as police officers stood outside.
The two brothers, who lived at a home for people with disabilities, were among the 11 mostly elderly congregants shot to death on Saturday at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
Services were also held for Jerry Rabinowitz, a 66-year-old family physician, and Daniel Stein, a 71-year-old retiree.
Nurses in surgical scrubs were among the crowd of about 2,000 at Rabinowitz's funeral.
"He was just precious. I feel like I've lost a father figure — and I have a father,” said Michele Bucher, a 54-year-old patient of Rabinowitz.
Robert Bowers, 46, is accused of storming into the Tree of Life synagogue yelling "All Jews must die" and opening fire on members of three congregations holding Sabbath prayer services there.
A federal judge on Monday ordered Bowers held without bail.
The attack, which the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) described as the deadliest targeting Jews in the United States, has heightened a national debate over Trump's rhetoric, which critics say has contributed to a surge in white nationalist and neo-Nazi activity.
The Trump administration has rejected the notion that he has encouraged far-right extremists who have embraced him.
Trump's visit comes just seven days before elections that will determine the balance of power in Congress. The Republicans currently control both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The Republican president said he would visit hospitalized police officers and other people wounded in the shooting. He will be accompanied by first lady Melania Trump, the White House said.
