Trump bragged on Hartley during the speech, mentioning his accolades as a six-letter varsity athlete and a "brilliant student" with a 4.46 grade point average. Both feats were met with lots of applause from the chamber.
Trump's praise for the teenager led to a very exciting announcement, where he let Hartley know his dream of attending West Point would be coming true.
"That's a hard one to get into, but I am pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted," Trump said, surprising Hartley and his mother.
