During his joint address to Congress, President Donald Trump made a heartfelt gesture in reference to the Make America Healthy Again movement.

Trump appointed a 13-year-old as an honorary Secret Service agent and spoke of RFK Jr.’s priority in reversing childhood cancer.

Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, of Austin, Texas, has had a rare form of brain cancer and has dreamed of becoming a police officer, Trump said.

The boy was welcomed with a standing ovation as Trump recognized his courage in front of the nation.

“DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live.That was more than six years ago,” Trump said on Tuesday in his remarks.

Daniel has been given honorary badges across the country, with more than 800 agencies recognizing the courageous kid, according to FOX 26 Houston.

“DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer,” Trump said.

“DJ’s doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical he was exposed to when he was younger,” Trump said.
