Trump began his trip to Texas on Thursday at a fundraiser in Fort Worth that raised about $5.5 million for Trump Victory
President Donald Trump has toured a new Louis Vuitton leather workshop in Texas with his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner in tow.
Trump
arrived at the Louis Vuitton plant in Alvarado on Thursday afternoon
where he toured the new facility and spoke with workers.
Just prior to arriving at the plant, Ivanka had been photographed clutching a Chanel bag.
The bag, however, was noticeably absent when she arrived with her father at the Louis Vuitton plant.
Looking to promote new jobs, the first
family were spotted touring the Louis Vuitton plant and being shown
various production lines.
'I've seen that before,' Trump told his tour guides while pointing to one of the iconic bags set up on a table.
Trump went on to address a crowd at the plant for a ribbon cutting ceremony.
'This workshop will soon employ 500 of the most highly skilled workers anywhere in the world,' Trump said.
'No one can match the precision and perfection of an American artisan.'
During his speech, he heaped praise on his daughter and son-in-law and made them stand so the crowd could applaud them.
Trump said Ivanka was 'responsible for 14 million jobs this year'.
Following the tour, Trump was scheduled to headline a campaign rally in Dallas.
Trump
began his trip to Texas on Thursday at a fundraiser in Fort Worth that
raised about $5.5 million for Trump Victory, a joint fundraising
committee benefiting the Trump campaign and the Republican National
Committee.
The Texas visit comes at a
critical time for Trump, whose dealings with the president of Ukraine
are the subject of a quickly unfolding impeachment inquiry run by House
Democrats.
While Republicans have
largely defended Trump, they have sounded alarms over his decision to
pull U.S. troops out of northeast Syria - a move that paved the way for
Turkey to invade and assault the Kurds, who'd fought alongside the U.S.
in its campaign against Islamic State militants.
Upon landing in Texas on Thursday, Trump
credited his threat of sanctions on Turkey and the violence that has
taken place for the announcement of a cease-fire, though critics say
Trump green-lit the incursion and put the Kurdish forces in danger by
announcing a U.S. troop withdrawal.
Trump
described the cease-fire as an 'incredible outcome' that could not have
occurred 'unless you went somewhat unconventional.'
A
White House meeting between Trump and congressional lawmakers to
discuss the situation devolved into an insult-fest on Wednesday, with
the president calling Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a
'third-grade politician' and Pelosi storming out.
Trump and Pelosi continued to trade jabs after the meeting, with each accusing the other of having a meltdown.
Texas is an important state for Republicans.
Trump
carried the Republican stronghold and its 38 Electoral College votes by
9 points in 2016. But Democrats have pointed to demographic trends as
well as the fact that Republican Sen. Ted Cruz won reelection by just
over 2 points last year as evidence that the second-most-populous state
could soon be in play.
Trump's campaign and the RNC have been raking in money, raising a record $125 million in the third quarter of this year.
By
comparison, former President Barack Obama and the Democratic National
Committee raised just over $70 million in the third quarter of 2011 for
his reelection campaign.
