Trump Honors 13-Year-Old Cancer Survivor as Honorary Secret Service Agent

During his address to Congress, President Trump celebrated DJ Daniel's resilience and fulfilled his dream of joining law enforcement.

President Trump introduced DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor, during his Congressional address, praising his courage and determination.
DJ, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018 and given only months to live, has defied the odds and undergone 13 surgeries since his diagnosis.
Trump announced DJ's appointment as an honorary Secret Service agent, a gesture that drew bipartisan applause and chants of 'DJ' from the audience.
MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace criticized the moment, with Wallace controversially linking it to the January 6 Capitol riots, sparking backlash on social media.
Trump also used the occasion to highlight a new presidential commission led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to address childhood cancer and environmental toxins.
