Earlier today President Trump hosted 16-year-old hero lifeguard Ryder Williams at the White House. Honoring both young Mr Williams and the 10-year-old young man he saved, Nathaniel Rai.
“What you did was incredible and everybody saw it,” Trump said during the meeting as he chatted with Williams and other lifeguards from the teen’s post. Trump added that Williams is someone young Americans can look up to for how he handled the rescue.
Williams saved 10-year-old Nathaniel Rai from the pounding surf in a dramatic rescue that was captured on video, showing Williams’ heroic effort as he kept the young boy above water. The video went viral shortly after the rescue and caught the attention of Eric Trump and eventually the president himself. WATCH:
Media questions begin at 10:41 of the video.
I used to be a lifeguard…
Until some blue kid got me fired 🙂
U lifebuoy.
Fang Fang likey.
<U lifebuoy.>
That’s how I got away clean 🙂
Great young man and a hat tip to the parents.
This is OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP at his very BEST! Uplifting a young man…not blustering to his own outsized ego.
Santa Cruz does have some really gnarly surf conditions at various times during the year. Couple that with 58 degree water and you begin to realize how truly amazing it is that those lifeguards perform daily in those conditions.
This was very fitting Ryder be recognized by POTUS, and Ryder stands as a wonderful example for youth working their Summers in the USA!
Santa Cruz is also about as liberal as any city gets.
I used to live just down the road when I was a kid and spent a lot of time at the beach there.
Best roller coaster ever.
What a fantastic young man! He looks so healthy and full of life. GOD bless him.

The whole of the legislative branch is infected with such people.
This full chested young man at 16…confident, humble, and imbued with a love of others…could teach a thing or two…and much more.
His parents have reared and prepared him well.
Inspirational.

President Trump does not just say the words… he means it from his heart. He is a really good man!!
This young lifeguard has a path cut out for him now. Hope he uses it wisely.
I’m going to assume since he’s white, this won’t be covered in the media at all.
Trump honors someone who risked his life to save a young boy while many liberals fight to kill babies and sell their parts.
Do you see a difference? Vote accordingly in November.
For a minute there, I thought I was in the waiting room at Fort Knox with all that gold shining and blinding my eyes! Fetish time perhaps. I want to see America in those rooms, the gold embellishments (for me) greatly distract what I should be focusing upon. I want to be focused on those people there and why they are there.
That lifeguard teenager and the young boy whose life he saved are the focus as the President honors them and their families.
Wonderful!
“Earlier today President Trump hosted 16-year-old hero lifeguard Ryder Williams at the White House. ”
A refreshing change from the usual occupants of the White House. I do not recall bho or jrb conducting anything similar to this. They only seem to invite guests and events that promulgated their political bent.
I wonder what kind of coverage it will get, if any, from the MSM presstitutes. If it is little or none, that will be just par for the course.
Treepers, I lived right down the road from that beach and grew up near Santa Cruz. The beauty of that rescue is watching not only this young man but also those other gentlemen that came out to assist. All of different races. That’s the CA I knew and loved, while Democrats always attempt to divide us the reality is that we always got along just fine in the melting pot we called CA we didn’t and don’t care about race, we just care about being sincere and generally kind individuals. May God bless this young man and those that sought to assist.
