President Trump praised 13-year-old DJ Daniels, seated in the House gallery, and announced that he would become an honorary Secret Service agent.
āHe has always dreamed of becoming a police officer,ā Trump explained. āBut in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.ā
āThe doctors gave him five months at most to live,ā he added. āThat was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.ā
āAnd tonight, DJ, weāre going to do you the biggest honor of them all,ā Trump teased, before announcing the honor.
Chants of āD-J!ā in response in the House chamber.
