Trump caught attention to DJ Daniel, 13, whom he aspires to become a police officer, but was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018.
“The doctors gave him a maximum of five months to live. That was more than six years ago,” Trump said. “Since then, DJ and his father have been in a search to make their dream come true.”
“And tonight, DJ, we are going to make you the greatest honor of all. I am asking our new Secret Service Director Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States.”

The 13 -year -old cancer survivor Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel is raised by his father Theodis Daniel after President Donald Trump made him an honorary member of the United States Secret Service in the United States Capitol in Washington, on March 4, 2025.
