Boy fighting cancer gets touching follow up visit with Trump. Heartless libs could really lose it.

The young boy who won hearts during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress had something special for him when they met in the Oval Office.

Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel was appointed as an honorary Secret Service agent on Tuesday night, prompting cheers and tears from those in attendance – sans Democrats who sat glumly on their hands.

The next day, as the young teen who has battled brain cancer performed his new “duties,” he told the president, “There’s one more thing I got for you.”

“A big hug,” he said as he wrapped his arms around Trump’s neck.

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Daniel expressed his gratitude to the president.

“I am very thankful that Donald Trump invited us down here, and I was not expecting for a lot of people to be out there,” the boy said.

The teen was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018, and doctors at the time gave him only five months to live. He has been on a journey to make his dream of becoming a police officer come true, being sworn in as an honorary member of hundreds of local police departments.

“Well, once I reach 1,000, I’m just going to keep on going until my gas tank runs out. That’s when God calls you home,” Daniel said in his interview with Fox News Digital

Trump took it to the next level Tuesday by having the director of the U.S. Secret Service, Sean Curran, give Daniel a custom Secret Service badge.

His father, Theodis Daniel, told Fox News Digital he believes Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will do “a wonderful job” as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

“I’m sure he’s going to do great things. I have no doubt about that,” he added.

The young boy’s personality has been affected by each of the 13 surgeries he has undergone since his diagnosis.

“I have to learn his personality,” his father said. “So, what you see is what you get until we have another surgery.”

Another of Trump’s guests at his address to Congress was January Littlejohn, whose daughter was transitioned at school without her knowledge. The mother told Fox News Digital that she was “humbled and honored” to be invited.

“I would just like to thank him and continue to speak truth that there are two sexes, male or female, and no matter what one does to their body, that can never change. Sex is binary,” she said.

“I felt the weight of not just representing my family and what we’ve been through but of all families who have been harmed by this gender identity ideology,” she said. “And it’s still happening. I get phone calls weekly from parents whose children are being seduced by the false idea that they were born in the wrong body.”

Littlejohn feels “executive orders alone will not change this, because this ideology has infected every institution, including our schools.” Nevertheless, she said Tuesday night’s experience had filled her with “such hope.”
