Trump promises 'high civilian honor' for 16-year-old lifeguard

President Donald Trump on Tuesday vowed to bring a 16-year-old lifeguard to the White House to receive a "high civilian honor" after he was filmed saving a young child.

"We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it!" he posted on Truth Social.

Accompanying Trump's remarks was a video of the young man rescuing a young boy from a strong current on the beach.
