President Trump honored Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer survivor, in a moving moment during his address to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday, announcing that he will become an honorary member of the Secret Service.
Daniel, clad in a police officer uniform while seated in the House gallery, beamed as his father hoisted him up while Trump recognized his battle to overcome cancer.
“He has always dreamed of becoming a police officer,” the commander in chief explained during his speech. “But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.”
“The doctors gave him five months at most to live,” Trump added. “That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.”
Trump recounted how Daniel has been made an honorary member of other law enforcement agencies across the country and praised his fighting spirit.
​
“And tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all,” Trump teased before announcing the honor.
“I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States.”
​
Chants of “D-J!” immediately erupted in the House chamber in response to the heartwarming announcement.
​
Curran then handed Daniel a badge, making him an honorary member of the Secret Service. Daniel proudly waved the new badge around with a stunned look on his face.
Trump then pivoted to discuss Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s mission to “get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply and keep our children healthy and strong.”

During his address, Trump lauded law enforcement and re-upped his call to impose a “mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer,” arguing that he wants cops to be able to “do their job without fear of their lives being totally destroyed.”
At another point in Trump’s wide-ranging speech, Trump announced that high school senior Jason Hartley was admitted into the US Military Academy at West Point.
Trump recounted how Hartley, the son of a deceased Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, had dreamed of getting into the prestigious military academy.
“That’s a hard one to get into,” Trump mused. “I’m pleased to inform you your application has been accepted.”
Harley was seen embracing his mother and giving a thumbs up, seemingly caught off guard by the announcement.

Elon Must Give Him A Cyber Truck
Elon Musk has promised a young boy battling brain cancer a Cybertruck, after the youngster was honored by President Trump.
Devarjaye 'DJ' Daniel, 13, was made an honorary member of the Secret Service on Tuesday night by President Donald Trump.
Speaking with CNN's Kaitlan Collins outside of the White House after his appointment, Daniel revealed he had bumped into the Tesla CEO and X boss.
​
He said: 'I said, "can you do me a big favor, when you get back to Houston can you send us a Cybertruck down there".'
Collins then asks him: 'Did Elon Musk say he'd send you a Tesla Cybertruck?', to which the youngster responded: 'Mmmmhmm'.
Sharing the short exchange to her social media, Musk later responded to the clip with a love heart emoji, suggesting the little boy's wish for the $80,000 vehicle could well be granted.
Daniel has been battling cancer for six years after being diagnosed in 2018 with a rare form of brain and spine cancer with no cure.
Trump had introduced the youngster to a global audience earlier this week, telling Congress: 'Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police.
The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.'
Daniels was held up by his father for the touching moment as he received his badge from Director Sean Curran and Republicans in the House gallery chanted 'DJ.'
It was a sweet moment that should have unified politicians and pundits, no matter their hatred of the polarizing president.
First Son Donald Jr. posted on his social media saying: 'If you can't stand up and cheer for a kid with brain cancer being made an honorary member of the Secret Service, then you might be a deeply disturbed and f***ed up person!!!'
MSNBC pundit Nicolle Wallace couldn't resist the urge to be negative, even when it concerned a young boy battling cancer.
Wallace said: 'I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer - but I hope he never has to defend the United States capitol against Donald Trump's supporters.
'If he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide,' Wallace added.
The network has yet to comment on her remarks, with viewers calling for her resignation en masse.
Daniel had undergone 13 surgeries by the time he was 12 as he battles a rare brain and spine cancer with no cure.
He is trying to get sworn in to as many law enforcement agencies as possible as he and his family try to raise awareness about his condition.
At the time of his 2018 diagnosis, he was told he would likely only live another five months.
On Wednesday, Daniel and his family joined Trump in the Oval Office and hugged the president.
'That was a big evening last night,' Trump said to them as he shook Daniel's father's hand.
Trump said during his speech that driving down childhood cancer rates and studying autism cases in the US will be a top priority for his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Childhood cancer remains rare in the US, with about 15,000 children diagnosed with the disease every year.
Cases of pediatric cancer have risen in recent years, but treatments have improved, leading to a decline in deaths from the disease.
'Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply and keep our children healthy and strong,' he said.
