Former President Donald Trump reunited with a young supporter named Liam, who has a rare brain disorder, during a recent visit in New York. This meeting followed Trump’s earlier heartfelt gesture of sending Liam a birthday card, which had deeply moved the boy.
During their interaction, Trump, addressing Liam, said, “I’m supposed to be at that stage. But that doesn’t matter because I got you the best present you’ll ever have. It’s the best present you’ll ever have.” He then presented Liam with a special gift, adding, “Okay, honey, this is yours. And in here is real good stuff.”
The former president engaged warmly with Liam, asking his parents, “Is he going to come out and watch me? Because I left the stage in order to come and say hello.” He encouraged Liam to take care of his family, saying, “Take care of yourself, honey. Okay. I wish I looked like that. If I looked like that, I’d be president.”
This touching moment comes on the heels of significant online attention garnered by Liam’s reaction to receiving Trump’s birthday letter. A video shared by Liam’s family showed the boy, who turned eight, brought to tears by the gesture. Since being posted, the video received more than 3 million views, with many praising Trump for his kindness.
Replying to that video, Social media users talked about the compassionate side of Trump, often overlooked by the "mainstream media". One commenter said, “He does it because he knows it’ll warm that kid’s heart.”
