Former President Donald Trump is making headlines for a heartfelt gesture that has resonated with many across the country.
A video shared on X (formerly Twitter) captured a touching moment involving Liam, an eight-year-old boy from New York who suffers from a rare brain disorder and growth hormone deficiency.
On Thursday, Liam received a personal birthday letter from Trump, which left him visibly emotional.
The letter, signed by Trump, offered birthday wishes and words of encouragement, highlighting Liam’s strength and determination in the face of adversity.
The letter read:
Dear Liam,
Happy 8th birthday. Mrs. Trump and I hope you enjoy this special occasion surrounded by the love of your family and friends. We are so encouraged by the strength and determination you have shown throughout your young life, and send our love and best wishes to you as you continue to fight. Remember, you are never alone, and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers for continued care and good health.
May God bless you and your family. Stay strong.
Sincerely,
Donald Trump
Liam’s mother read the letter aloud, and the boy’s sweet reaction, including a heartfelt “Thank you” and “I love you,” deeply touched those who watched the video. He also made a gesture in sign language to express his gratitude.
The video was shared by podcaster Kevin Smith, who revealed that the family had sent the letter to him, noting that Trump did not seek any public recognition for the act. Smith posted:
“This was sent to me by Liam’s family… Donald Trump didn’t ask for credit for this. He just did it. Because he’s a good person. No matter what the media tries to say.”
Adding to the charm of the moment, Liam was wearing a shirt that read, “It’s a Donnie Thing, you just wouldn’t understand,” showing his admiration for the former president. His family had hoped the letter would brighten Liam’s special day, and it clearly did.

The gesture quickly went viral, with many users praising Trump for his kindness.
One person commented, “Trump is a good man. He doesn’t do this and then publicize it. He does it because he knows it’ll warm that kid’s heart and that’s all he needs.”
Another shared their own story of Trump sending a hand-signed letter to a friend for their retirement, a gesture that also went unnoticed by the media.
This act of kindness is not unusual for Trump. Throughout his time in office, he was known for making personal connections with those in need. In one memorable instance, Trump stepped out from behind the bulletproof glass at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, to personally check on an elderly woman who had felt faint.
Despite the increased security risk, Trump offered her words of comfort and a hug.
