  • President Donald Trump brought attention to 13-year-old DJ Daniel during his speech to Congress in March 2025.

The article from MSN discusses a controversial moment during former President Donald Trump's 2018 State of the Union address where he introduced Grace Eline, a 10-year-old girl battling brain cancer. The contention arose because some Democrats did not stand or clap during this part of the speech, leading to accusations that they were disrespecting Grace. However, the article clarifies that the Democrats' lack of applause was not directed at Grace but was a reaction to Trump's policies and his presence.

The piece also includes reactions from various political figures and media outlets, highlighting the politicization of the event and the broader implications of how such moments are interpreted and reported in the media.
