More from Fox News:

DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor with a dream of working in law enforcement, visited President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House just hours after warming millions of hearts Tuesday night when he was named an honorary Secret Service member during the president’s joint address to Congress.

In a video shared on X, Daniel could be seen standing next to Trump in the Oval Office before saying, “There’s one more thing I got for ya: a big hug.”

The president responds, “OK good, that’s very nice,” as they embrace.

Trump then shakes Daniel’s father’s hand and asks how he is doing, before adding, “That was a big evening last night, right? That was a big evening.”

The Texas boy’s expression during the surprise Tuesday night went viral on social media, along with video of his father holding him up in the air to hug director of the U.S. Secret Service Sean Curran, who presented him with a customized Secret Service badge.

The New York Post added:

DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old brain cancer survivor honored by President Trump during his speech to a joint session of Congress, got to meet the commander in chief Wednesday and the two shared another tender moment.

Daniel, an aspiring police officer, received a standing ovation in the House chamber Tuesday night after Trump surprised the Houston teenager by making him an honorary Secret Service agent.

The “newest member of the United States Secret Service” and his family met with Trump, 78, in the Oval Office, where the young boy had a surprise of his own for the president.

“There’s one more thing I got for you – a big hug,” Daniel told the commander in chief before wrapping him up.

“That’s very nice,” Trump said in response.

Daniel, who was donning the same Houston Police Department uniform he wore for Trump’s big speech, had previously gifted the president a cowboy hat.

“What a good-looking family,” Trump said of the Daniel clan who accompanied DJ into the Oval Office, including the teen’s father, Theodis, and two young girls .

“That was a big evening last night,” the president said.

“Yes it was,” Theodis responded.

Theodis hoisted his son into the air Tuesday night as chants of “DJ! DJ!” broke out in the House chamber after Trump announced the honor.

DJ Daniel was also interviewed by Natalie Winters today, where he shared a message for Democrats.

“If you’re a Democrat and you’re being mean to President Trump, I’m on your bumper!”

You’ve gotta see this:

How can you not love this kid?
