Daniel received a standing ovation from the majority of the crowd, although some democrats were seen by the camera sitting at various times while Trump spoke of the thirteen year old.

Trump explained that Daniel and his father, who were among the crowd and supported him at a certain point during Trump’s observations, made a “research” to make his dream of becoming a police officer and explained that he was an honorary member of the local police departments.
