Former first son Donald Trump Jr. predicted Thursday that his father's upcoming speech at the Republican National Convention will be "personal" since it changed after the assassination attempt.

"It's personal," Trump Jr. said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "Listen, you get shot in the face, it changes a lot. And so, I'm actually looking forward to hearing it."

Trump Jr. said he looked over his father's original speech and thought it was good. He added that the first speech had gone in the "wastepaper basket" after the assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Over the weekend, someone tried to assassinate the 45th president in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Trump was shot in the ear and was escorted off stage.

Trump Jr. said that what draws people to his father is that he understands people and can convey that.

"He was better at being a builder because he hung out with the construction workers, not the architects," he said, referring to Trump. "You know what I mean? Like he spent time with those guys, so he always got it."
