The president then told the story of Lisa and Bruce Alexander, a couple in attendance who adopted their now-four-year-old daughter Katherine despite her being born with an opioid addiction. Trump invited the little girl on stage to warm applause.
“At the age of two, she memorized ‘America the Beautiful,’” Trump revealed. “She recites poetry, and recently she announced to her dad that when she grows up she wants to be a famous police officer, and then when she gets tired of that, she wants to become president.”
“We celebrate all lives, we celebrate the loving choice of adoption,” the president declared. “Katherine reminds us that every life is sacred, that every child is a loving gift from God.”
