Former first son Donald Trump Jr. said Wednesday at the Republican National Convention that the upcoming presidential election is between "America First" and "America Last."

“It's a choice between people who are proud of America and people who are ashamed of America ... ultimately it's between 'America First' and 'America Last,'" Trump Jr. said. 

He went on to criticize President Joe Biden's policies, saying that nothing has gotten better under the current administration. 

"Remember 'Build back Better?'" Trump Jr. asked the crowd. "Nothing is built, nothing is back and nothing is better."

Earlier in his remarks, the former first son recalled what his father went through over the weekend when there was an assassination attempt on the 45th president at a rally in Pennsylvania. 

“As those bullets rained down, we came millimeters away from one of the darkest moments in American history," he said.

“In that moment, my father didn’t just show his character," Trump Jr. said. "He showed America’s character. When he stood up with blood on his face and the flag at his back, the world saw a spirit that would never be broken.”
