Meet Gene Huber, the unlikely star of Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Florida on Friday.
Huber, a car salesman from West Palm Beach, Florida, was hauled on stage by the US President after Trump pointed to him in the audience, saying he saw Huber earlier on the news talking about his love for the president.
The 47-year-old was invited onstage to speak to the crowd.

In an interview with CNN afterwards, Huber revealed that he is so devoted to Trump he salutes and talks to a cardboard cutout of the one-time TV star every day.
“I’ve got a 6-foot cardboard box of President Trump in my house and I salute that every single day,” Huber told CNN’s Pamela Brown. “I tell him, ‘Mr. President, I pray for your safety today.’”
