The Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump
kicks off his two-day Texas swing in Dallas, with a private fundraiser and an
evening rally.
He'll then head to San Antonio for a lunchtime fundraiser on
Friday, before an afternoon private fundraising event in Houston followed by
another rally. Trump's trip is mostly for fundraising purposes, and one of his
campaign staffers told the Texas Tribune
that the campaign plans to raise about $4 million here, while
enlisting help from local Lone Star celebrities like Rick Perry and Red
McCombs.
The arrival of the divisive candidate has
inspired both friends and foes of Trump. In Plano, one woman has made
custom dresses with photos of Trump plastered from head to toe. She's worn
one to three rallies so far and plans to wear a fourth to the rally in Dallas,
with a matching handbag and shoes. The dress, which looks like an unholy
marriage between your grandma's photograph-cluttered refrigerator door and a
Trump-themed full body condom, is also a poor investment: according to the Dallas Morning
News, each one is only good for one wear, because the only way
the woman can remove the dress is if she cuts herself out of
it. "Donald Trump is the main course, and I am the appetizer,"
the woman told the Morning News.
