In a video that has captured hearts across the internet, 8-year-old Liam, who lives with a rare brain disorder, was caught on camera reacting to Donald Trump’s recent election win. The touching moment was filmed by Liam’s mother, Siobhan Licastro, and shared widely on social media, resonating with audiences for its innocence and joy.
The video begins with Licastro gently telling her son about the election results. “We have something to tell you, Liam,” she says softly. “You know the election was yesterday. Who were you rooting for?” Liam, his face immediately lighting up, exclaims, “Trump!” and even mentions Trump ally, Senator JD Vance.
Licastro continues to tease her son, saying that Kamala Harris had strong support during the campaign. Anxiously, Liam responds, “Let me guess, she won?” His mother quickly reassures him with a simple “Nope.” Overjoyed, Liam erupts into cheers, fist-pumping the air and exclaiming, “Yes!” He then hugs his mother, filled with pure happiness at the news.
“What do you say to Trump and Vance?” Licastro asks with a smile. Liam responds enthusiastically, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The viral clip didn’t just end there, however. Liam’s admiration for Trump has been a constant source of joy in his life. As previously reported, he received a personal birthday letter from Trump, who had been made aware of the young fan’s admiration. In an emotional moment, Liam began to cry after reading the letter from his hero, and when his mother asked who had signed it, he said without hesitation, “Donald Trump.”
Kevin Smith, a New York Young Republicans Club advisor, shared the birthday moment on social media, explaining that Trump’s gesture was done without seeking any publicity. “It was a genuine, heartfelt act,” Smith commented, adding that it spoke volumes about Trump’s character.
In another memorable moment, Liam had the chance to meet Trump before one of his rallies on Long Island. Trump entered a private room where Liam and his family were waiting, saying he wanted to give the young boy a “present he’d never forget.” The emotional visit left a lasting impact on Liam and his family.
Liam’s video is a heartwarming reminder of the impact simple gestures and uplifting moments can have, especially for young people facing health challenges. His joyous reaction to the election news, his admiration for Trump, and the support he’s received from his family and heroes have brought smiles to many across the country.
