Donald Trump has surprised one of his youngest voters with the birthday gift of a lifetime.

Trump surprised 8-year-old Liam and his family prior to his Uniondale, New York, rally on Wednesday.
It’s safe to say that the boy was in shock.
The family were invited to Trump’s rally as VIP guests, and were greeted by the 45th president himself in a private room.
“I’m supposed to be on that stage, but that doesn’t matter because I got you the best present,” Trump said. “This is the best present you’ll ever have.”
The Republican then handed Liam a box and said “in there is real good stuff.”
Trump then thanked the boy and his family for coming to the rally and for supporting him.
“We’re gonna have that picture for life, you and I,” Trump told Liam after taking a photo.
After the young boy and his family met Trump, Liam’s father thanked everyone who made his son’s dream come true possible.
“It’s a pipe dream, I can never imagine, to thank the world for helping my son come this far and showing support and making his dream come true, because, believe it or not, this is definitely probably one of his big dreams, to meet Donald Trump, his hero since he was probably born. If not, very close,” Liam’s dad said while holding back tears.
Liam went viral a few days before when his mother, Siobhan, posted a video of Liam receiving a happy birthday letter from the 45th president. The young boy, who has a rare brain condition and growth hormone deficit, was brought to tears when he saw the letter written and signed by Trump.
The post that has over three million views, has a plethora of kind comments.
Kevin Smith, the Trump advisor who posted the video, stated that Trump gave Liam the letter out of goodwill and reiterated that it was in no way a publicity stunt. The former president did not request to have the video recorded. Liam’s family provided the video to Smith to show Trump how much the letter meant to her son.
