Yet social media users were quick to claim Trump inviting Mr Huber on stage was a carefully orchestrated ploy.
CNN’s Jacki Schechner claimed Mr Huber was planted in the crowd.
She tweeted: “No way Secret Service would have let Gene Huber on stage w/o his being vetted. Huber just said he salutes a box of paraphernalia every day.”

Ms Schechner added: “Gene Huber was staged. Def not a random. Here's his FB page… Posted from Trump Winery two days ago.”
Mr Huber also posted a picture on his Facebook claiming that the President had called him.
He greeted the former business tycoon with a hug after being told by the Republican to jump the barrier and address the crowd.

Mr Huber said: “Mr. President, thank you, sir. We the people, our movement is the reason why our president of the United States is standing here in front of us today.
“When President Trump during the election promised all these things that he was going to do for us, I knew he was going to do this for us.
“Mr. President, thank you so much sir.”
Donald Trump announced “a star is born”.
