Mobile's colorful ambassadors, the Azalea Trail Maids, welcomed President-Elect Donald Trump when his plane landed at the Brookley Aeroplex on Saturday afternoon on the final stop of his "thank you tour" at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile.

When AP national political reporter Jonathan Lemire tweeted a photo of "the president-elect's welcoming committee," hundreds of responses ranged from "disgusting" to "beautiful."

Here's an assortment of tweets about the Trail Maids:
