Donald Trump’s inflammatory firebrand rhetoric might have earned him a fair few detractors but it has also gained him some diehard supporters. While the president has been less inclined to engage with his critics, he has enjoyed his supporter's affections on more occasion than one.

This could be glimpsed over the weekend when Mr Trump went so far as to ask his staff to pick up some superfans on the roadside and bring them to his Mar-a-Lago resort to meet him.

Jennifer Eady, whose name is Jenny Jennifer Eady Trump on Facebook, could not believe her luck when Mr Trump spotted the supporters from his car and told his staff to find them.

The White House staff collected the fans, who were wearing Make America Great Again hats, in Palm Beach, Florida and took them to meet the president in person.

“Can you believe this? The secret service or the White House staff has picked us up in a van and has said we are about to meet the president,” Eady said in a video shared on her Facebook.

“Donald trump told him to get us. Oh my god we’re going to Mar-a-Lago,” she said excitedly while driving to the president's resort.

According to a pool report, the billionaire property developer saw the supporters gathered on the side of Southern Boulevard holding signs for him.

“He wanted to thank them and invited them back,” a White House spokeswoman told the pool. “They came back and he briefly spoke to them, thanked them and took a few photos.”

“It was a lovely lovely experience and I just hope it happens again and again,” Eady’s friend, Valeria Bianco, said of the impromptu meet and greet.

Eady has since changed her profile picture to an image of herself and the president at his 126-room estate. Her Facebook includes numerous photos of herself at Trump rallies sporting Trump memorabilia and images of personal letters she has written to the president.

Mr Trump has spent much of his time as president at Mar-a-Lago which he refers to as the “Winter White House". The president recently expressed his fondness for Florida, a state he has been visiting for decades, calling it is his “second home” and Mar-a-Lago the “Southern White House”.

“We get a lot of work done - believe me, there's not rest at the Southern White House - it's all work,” he told an audience at St Andrews Catholic School in Orlando Florida at a Teaching Conference.

Nevertheless, Mr Trump has had a tumultuous relationship with the state and has sued the city and had battles with the town's leadership.

Although his Mar-a-Lago resort is a 15-hour drive from the White House, the estate has been described as an outpost of American government. President Trump had an al fresco meeting with Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, amid a North Korean missile launch at the resort last month and he has also entertained health care industry executives there.
