‘Disgraceful’: DJ Daniel, 13-year-old cancer survivor honored by Trump, has plenty to say about Al Green, Elon Musk and Rachel Maddow

A Young Patriot’s Perspective: DJ Daniel Speaks Out on Respect and Leadership
At just 13 years old, Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel has captured the hearts of many across the nation. As the youngest honorary Secret Service agent, DJ has shown a level of maturity and wisdom beyond his years. When Democrats disrespected former President Donald Trump during his joint address to Congress, DJ made it clear that he was not pleased. “They make me mad,” he shared in an interview. “If you’re not going to say something nice, you don’t need to be there. Honestly, if it was up to myself, and I was the president, I would literally stop what I was doing, escort [disrespectful people] out and have them banned. They wouldn’t be allowed back in. My dad says that you can’t reward bad behavior.”
DJ’s strong stance on respect isn’t just about President Trump—it’s about the office itself. “Even if they don’t like President Trump, they need to respect the position,” he emphasized. This sense of respect and duty is something DJ learned from his father, Theodis Daniel, a retired Navy man who has been by his side through thick and thin. For DJ, respect is not just a word; it’s a way of life.
A Cancer Warrior’s Journey: How DJ Daniel Won Hearts
DJ’s story goes far beyond his role as an honorary Secret Service agent. This young man has been battling brain cancer, a fight that has only strengthened his resolve and inspired countless people across the country. When President Trump singled him out during his speech, calling him “a young man who truly loves our police,” DJ became an overnight sensation. His courage, resilience, and unwavering positivity have made him a symbol of hope for many.
DJ’s visit to the White House was nothing short of magical. “As soon as I saw him, I gave the president a big hug,” DJ recalled. “He said that he’s proud of me and handed me a signed hat.” While the hat is a cherished keepsake, DJ has no plans to wear it. “It’s a collector’s item and is valuable,” he said with a smile. This moment, like many others, showed the deep connection DJ feels with President Trump and the respect he holds for the office of the presidency.
A Disgraceful Display: DJ’s Take on Representative Al Green’s Actions
One particular incident during President Trump’s speech struck a chord with DJ—Representative Al Green’s disruption. The Texas congressman’s outburst not only drew attention but also led to his censure by fellow lawmakers. For DJ, this was more than just a political moment; it was personal. “He embarrassed us; he’s from our congressional district,” DJ said with a mix of disappointment and frustration. “I’d tell him that he was very disgraceful and very disrespectful.”
DJ’s reaction to Representative Green’s actions highlights his commitment to civility and respect, even in the face of disagreement. For him, the disruption was not just about politics—it was about the values that should unite Americans, regardless of their differences. DJ’s message to Representative Green is clear: respect the office, respect the people, and always act with dignity.
A Star-Studded Visit: DJ’s Encounter with Elon Musk
During his visit to Washington, D.C., DJ had the opportunity to meet some of the most influential people in the country. While he chose not to play favorites—“They were all great,” he diplomatically said—one figure stood out in particular: Elon Musk. “While in the White House, I was walking around and magically, deliciously ran into Elon Musk; we took a picture,” DJ shared with excitement. For him, Musk is more than just a billionaire entrepreneur; he’s a man with a vision for the future. “He’s a party dude and strictly business. He has the hands to fix America,” DJ said with admiration.
DJ’s encounter with Musk was a highlight of his trip, and he left with a clear message for the world’s richest man. “Keep doing what you’re doing and keep up the good work,” he said. For DJ, people like Elon Musk represent the spirit of innovation and progress that America needs to thrive. His meeting with Musk was a reminder that even the most unlikely encounters can leave a lasting impact.
A Message to Critics: DJ’s Response to Rachel Maddow
Not everyone has been kind to DJ, however. Rachel Maddow, a prominent MSNBC host, faced backlash after calling President Trump “disgusting” for highlighting DJ’s story as a cancer warrior. DJ’s response to Maddow was simple yet powerful. “If you have nothing nice to say,” he said, “then don’t say anything at all.”
For DJ, kindness and compassion should always come first, even in the face of disagreement. His message to Maddow—and to anyone who chooses to speak negatively—is a reminder of the importance of empathy and respect. DJ’s approach to life is not about winning arguments or gaining attention; it’s about spreading love and positivity, even in the most challenging times.
A Heartfelt Thank You: DJ’s Message to President Trump
Through it all, DJ has remained steadfast in his gratitude for President Trump. “Thank you for saving the United States,” he said with sincerity. For DJ, President Trump represents more than just a politician; he represents a leader who has taken the time to acknowledge the struggles and triumphs of ordinary Americans like himself.
DJ’s journey from a small town in Texas to the halls of the White House is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. As he continues to inspire others with his story, DJ remains committed to the values of respect, kindness, and courage. For him, these values are not just ideals—they are the foundation upon which a better future for all Americans can be built.
