Despite having just five months to live, DJ has broken the odds and continues to follow her dream of serving in law enforcement.
When the US leader made the announcement, DJ reacted with a face of surprise before his father lifted him for the crowd to see.
Trump said while addressing a joint session of the US Congress on Tuesday, March 4:
"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.
“And tonight, DJ, we are going to do you the biggest honour of them all. I am asking our new secret service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States.”
