On day three of the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump, Jr. brought out his oldest daughter, Kai, to the stage because she wanted to tell the audience and those watching on television who former President Donald Trump is as a grandfather, something you will never hear from the mainstream media.

The young Trump started off her speech by saying:

Hi everyone, my name is Kai Madison Trump. I am the granddaughter of Donald Trump. I'm speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see. To me, he's just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking; he always wants to know how we're doing in school.

She continued:

When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me. He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his. But then I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll have to call him back later. When we play golf together, if I'm not on his team, he'll try to get inside my head, and he's always surprised that I don't let him get to me. But I have to remind him I'm a Trump, too. Even when he's going through all these court cases, he always asks me how I'm doing. He always encourages me to push myself to be the most successful person I can be. Obviously, he sets the bar pretty high, but who knows, maybe one day I'll catch him.

She spoke about Trump's assassination attempt:

On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard that he had been shot, and I just wanted to know if he was OK. It was heartbreaking that someone would do that to another person.

A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell, and he's still standing. Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you.

She then spoke about the media's coverage of Trump:

The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person. But I know him for who he is. He's very caring and loving; he truly wants the best for this country, and he will fight every single day to Make America Great Again.

It was a great speech by Kai, and she showed who Trump actually is, not what he has been portrayed as for the past eight years by the media. 

Following Kai's speech, Don Jr. began his speech:

Just days ago, something that once seemed unimaginable became a terrifying reality. My father came under literal fire, as an incredible, patriotic rally turned into a tragedy. On a field in Butler, Pennsylvania, a brave firefighter died; others were injured, and as those bullets rained down, we came millimeters away from one of the darkest moments in our nation's history.

Jr. then paid tribute to Corey Comperatore:

But we did lose an American hero that day. We wish that he were with us tonight. But his memory will live on forever in the hearts of his family, his community, and the nation that he loved.

Jr. continued:

What was my father's instinct as his life was on the line? Not to cower, not to surrender, but to show, for all the world to see, that the next American president has the heart of a lion.

Powerful speeches from the Trump family on the third day of the RNC.
