PITTSBURGH — Crews were busy on Monday preparing the Carnegie Mellon University campus for President Trump’s visit. Leaders from energy companies, AI, investors and trade experts will be in Pittsburgh for a series of discussions and panels on the “technological revolution”. Senator Dave McCormick announced that President Donald Trump will be speaking in the afternoon. “For any president to come to your campus or community, that is a deep honor of itself,” Anthony Cacciato, told our news partners at Channel 11. Cacciato is the President of CMU Republicans, and says he and other students should be honored to host the event. Not everyone feels that way. Over the last few weeks, there has been pushback and petitions from CMU students who are against President Trump visiting campus. Congresswoman Summer Lee also spoke out against President Trump’s visit — while adding that his “Big Beautiful Bill” could hurt Western PA communities. There are planned protests and student organizers say they are expecting at least 1,000 people.
