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.”
