Many close to the city didn't see things quite the same way as Trump, including Pittsburgh's mayor, Bill Peduto.
"I started getting a lot of questions about his reference to the city of Pittsburgh," Peduto, a Democrat, said on CNN. "The city of Pittsburgh voted for [Democratic presidential nominee] Hillary Clinton with nearly 80% of the vote. He may be talking about all of Western Pennsylvania, but it's a far cry from being Pittsburgh."

Evidently the mayor of Pittsburgh thinks he/she is mayor only of those who for him/her.

"healthcare hub" = parasites
Healthcare in this country is a giant collusion between government and crony capitalists. To refer to it as an "industry" is ridiculous. It is an extortion racket propped by a Kafkaesque labyrinth of regulations, laws, set-asides, coerced subsidies, payments, and kickbacks. It is devoid of any free market influences whatsoever.

So the mayor represents globalist interests over Pittsburgh interests.
“...ditching the agreement that nearly every country in the world has signed on to.”
The only reason the rest of this welfare planet gives two schitz if we stay on board is because they need us to pay for it. Otherwise, we might as well sink to the depths of the ocean right now. It would serve them right if we did.

Pittsburgh? The President was clearly speaking of Pittsburg, Texas.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
So the Pittsburgh mayor is proud of the fact that his city has “grown” on the backs of taxpayer money?
Part of their increase in employment is “social assistance”? What they hell is that.

The citizens of Paris, Texas are deeply saddened.

Did he specifically say Pennsylvania?
Other places
Pittsburgh (Atlanta), a neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia
Pittsburgh, North Dakota, U.S.
Pittsburgh Junction, Ohio, U.S.
I imagine these Pittsburg’s will stand with the President.

It is, but it is due to a spin off. The parent company ARCONIC spun ALCOA off, changed its’ name and retains about 20% of ALCOA stock. The one company ARCONIC is still based in NYC with about $12Billion in revenue, for the time being anyway. The new ALCOA, with about $9 Billion in revenue, is now back in Pittsburgh, where it belongs.

Is the mayor of Pittsburgh going to
pony up a billion dollars - the billion the world's parasites demanded with this treaty?
Or is he just going to grandstand and bitch? (it's rhetorical - I know the answer)

Pittsburgh is just this week’s place for all the usual loony groups, LGBT, anarchists (for the environment!, yeah right), communists, feminists, BLM, and dopeheads looking for a party to appear and raise hell.
