"This is the most important election of our lifetime, one that will determine the future of our country and, in turn, the future of the world," Donald J Trump Jr, 38, said in his address to the Republican National Convention.
"For too long, our country has ignored its problems, punting them down the road for future generations to deal with. In business, I was trained by my father to make the tough investments decisions today to assure a brighter future tomorrow," he said.
"Remember one thing: We're still Americans, we're still one country, and we're going to get it all back. We're going to get it back better than ever before," he said.
"I know we'll get it back because I know my father. I know that when someone tells him that something is impossible, that's what triggers him into action," Trump Jr said amidst applause from the audience.
He also slammed Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate.
"Let me tell you something about risk. If Clinton was elected, she'd be the first president who couldn't pass a basic background check. It's incredible," he said.
"Clinton is a risk Americans can't afford to take. She says she'll issue executive orders to take away Americans' guns. She wants to appoint judges who will abolish the Second Amendment," he alleged.
Trump's daughter, Tiffney Trump, 22, said: "My dad is a natural-born encourager, the last person who will ever tell you to lower your sights up, give up your dreams."
"I always looked forward to introducing him to my friends, because they meet a man with natural charm and no facade. In person, my father is so friendly, so considerate, so funny and so real," said Tiffney, reflecting the fatherly and humane character of 70-year-old Trump.
"He motivates me to work my hardest and to always stay true to who I am. That's a great quality to have in a father, and better yet, in the US president," Tiffney said.
