Touching moment young Trumper with rare brain disorder reacts to election result

A young Donald Trump fan learned of his life-long hero’s presidential victory in a heartwarming moment captured on video. 

Liam Licastro, 8, from New York, lives with Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum – a rare brain disorder that initially had doctors warning his family he may never be able to walk, talk or eat on his own.

But Liam, who has been a loyal Trump supporter ever since he was just 18-months-old, defied those odds – and has been a very vocal mega-fan from an early age.

And when he woke up on the morning after Election Day, he had a big surprise coming.

‘We have something to tell you Liam,’ his mom Siobhan is heard telling him on a video shared to Fox News. 

‘You know the election was yesterday. Who are you rooting for?’

Liam responds: ‘Trump.’ 

His mother continues to inform him of what happened overnight, noting how Kamala Harris had a lot of voters in her circle.

‘Let me guess, she won?’ Liam responds with growing disappointment in his voice.

‘Nope,’ his mother replies.

‘Trump won? Yes!’ Liam exclaims while wearing a huge smile and fist pumping the air. ‘Thank you Lord!’ he then prays.

His mother then asks her son what he would like to say to Trump, which he responds: ‘Fight, fight, fight! I love you,’ while blowing a kiss.

Liam’s support towards the former president has not gone unnoticed throughout the years – and Trump has reciprocated that same appreciation.

Just before Liam turned eight, he received a happy-birthday letter from none other than the former president. 

His emotional reaction to his birthday gift went viral – big smiles followed by tears of gratitude upon opening the manila envelope.

‘We are so encouraged by the strength and determination you have shown throughout your life and send our love and best wishes to you as you continue to fight,’ the letter read, Fox News reported.

Just before Liam’s eighth birthday, Trump sent a happy-birthday letter in which he talked about his young fan being an inspiration 

‘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.’ 

Shortly after Trump’s letter, Liam and his family were invited to his Uniondale Rally as VIP guests where they sat just three rows from the candidate stage.

Trump even gave a quick shout-out to Liam and his family, telling the crowd all about his young fan’s bravery while pointing him out from the stage. 

But that wasn’t all. Liam got to meet his hero in person during a meet and greet where Trump came bearing gifts – a red ribbon wrapped box full of MAGA goodies.

‘It’s a pipe dream,’ Chris Licastro, Liam’s father, previously said at the rally, Fox News reported. ‘I can never imagine, to thank the world for helping my son come this far and showing support and making his dream come true.’

‘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,’ he added.

Donald Trump was declared the victor by Fox News early Wednesday after going head to head with Vice President Kamala Harris in a historical election – and the victorious outcome meant everything to the Licastro family.

‘This means the world,’ Siobhan told Fox News. ‘We don’t have to worry about our kids losing therapies that they need like my son did under Obama and Biden.’

And eight-year-old Liam is excited for Trump’s return to the White House. 

‘Trump is going to be a strong leader, he is going to make America a better, safer and happier place for us to live in,’ Liam wrote in a message to Fox News Digital.

‘I hope I get to come visit him when he moves to the White House so I can tell him about hockey.’ 

The family set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money for further research of disorders of the Corpus Callosum and for Liam’s future therapy that is not covered by insurance.
