“Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police,” Trump said at the time.
“He has always dreamed of becoming a police officer,” Trump continued. “But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. 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.”
