south carolina primary in a visit to a boeing plant today. the president trying to get back to his sweet spot. as he touted his goal to revive american manufacturing. >> when american workers win, america as a country wins big league wins. that's my message here today. america's going to start winning again. winning like never ever before. >> reporter: with the administration under fire over its russian connection, the botched travel ban and the ouster of trump's national security adviser. trump's allies say he's been feeling cooped up. so, he jumped at the chance to get out of washington and try to turn the focus to job creation instead. >> my focus has been all about jobs. and jobs is one of the primary reasons i'm standing here today as your president.
