DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old brain cancer survivor honored by President Trump during his speech to a joint session of Congress, got to meet the commander in chief Wednesday and the two shared another tender moment.
Daniel, an aspiring police officer, received a standing ovation in the House chamber Tuesday night after Trump surprised the Houston teenager by making him an honorary Secret Service agent.
The “newest member of the United States Secret Service” and his family met with Trump, 78, in the Oval Office, where the young boy had a surprise of his own for the president.
“There’s one more thing I got for you – a big hug,” Daniel told the commander in chief before wrapping him up.
“That’s very nice,” Trump said in response.
Daniel, who was donning the same Houston Police Department uniform he wore for Trump’s big speech, had previously gifted the president a cowboy hat.
“What a good-looking family,” Trump said of the Daniel clan who accompanied DJ into the Oval Office, including the teen’s father, Theodis, and two young girls .
“That was a big evening last night,” the president said.
“Yes it was,” Theodis responded.
Theodis hoisted his son into the air Tuesday night as chants of “DJ! DJ!” broke out in the House chamber after Trump announced the honor.

Incredible, incredible young man. 13 brain surgeries?! Heavenly father please bless him with many many years and may every member of his family’s cup overflow!
To your other point: CA gov Gavin Newsom has conveniently released a statement claiming he’s against transgender males in women’s sports. He also has a podcast episode with Charlie Kirk set to air soon. He’s positioning himself…
Fetterman dismayed by Dems dissing 13-year-old cancer survivor DJ Daniel’s ‘touching moment’ at Trump speech
Wow, what a wonderful young man! What an inspiring story! I wish him the best!
You are right...they were horribly pathetic. Every danged one of them.
Even tho Sen. Lurch Fetterman spoke out the next day, he sure didn’t buck Chuckie.
Dumblecrats are vile and disgusting,,,every one of them.
Awesome young man. 🙏
What will be the Democrats’ excuse for not cheering that great kid and his family? That Trump made them do it?
Letterman blows with the wind.
Mentally unstable if you ask me.
Who wears that outfit in a position of power?
Fetterman Letterman whatever.
“”Who wears that outfit in a position of power?””
He wore that outfit to the inauguration. Classless bum.
If the Republicans don’t use any of that video for future campaign ads, they’re NUTS!
How could anyone not love—and applaud—this little boy?
Ironically, DJ Daniel and his family live in Al Green’s district.
I lived there when I first moved to Houston, and he was the Justice of the Peace for Harris County (the county in which Houston is located).
I remember because the singer Al Green was somewhat famous in my hometown, Memphis, where I grew up. And I wondered if they were the same person. They are not. Al Green the singer became a pastor and still has a church in Memphis.
When I saw what the dems did to that kid I told my wife “these bastards are heartless” . I am glad that even some Dem supporters think the same way.
But votes to let mentally ill men playing women’s sports.
I’m not ever patting him on the back.
Yep!!
