President Trump surprised 8-year-old Liam and his family on Wednesday before a rally in Uniondale, New York.
To say the boy was in shock would be an understatement.
The family was invited to the Trump rally as VIP guests, along with 45 others.Number The president himself is in the private room.
“I was supposed to be on that stage, but it doesn't matter, because I've got the greatest gift for you,” Trump said. “This is the greatest gift you'll ever receive.”
The Republican then handed Liam the box and said, “There's some really cool stuff in there.”
President Trump later thanked the boy and his family for coming and showing their support at the rally.
“This is a picture that you and I will treasure forever,” Trump told Liam after the photo was taken.
After the boy and his family met with Trump, Liam's father thanked everyone who helped make his son's dream possible.
“It's a dream, I can't even imagine thanking the world for helping my son get to this point, supporting him and making his dreams come true, because believe it or not, one of his biggest dreams is to meet Donald Trump, who's been his hero since he was born. And even though he's not going to meet him, he's so close,” Liam's father said, fighting back tears.
Liam made headlines a few days ago when his mother Siobhan posted a video of him receiving a letter celebrating his 45th birthday.Number The boy, who suffers from a rare brain disorder and growth hormone deficiency, was moved to tears after reading the letter written and signed by President Trump.
The post has been viewed over 3 million times and has received many kind comments.
Kevin Smith, the Trump adviser who posted the video, reiterated that Trump gave Liam the letter out of goodwill and that it was not a publicity stunt. The former president did not ask for the video to be recorded. Liam's family provided it to Smith to show Trump how much the letter meant to their son.
