Tiffany Trump portrayed her father, the official Republican nominee Donald Trump, as a doting dad who scribbled notes on her report card and called her when a close friend died.

The 22-year-old recent graduate from the University of Pennsylvania spoke for about five minutes on the Republican National Convention stage, prefacing her remarks with the fact that she was nervous.

'When I graduated college a couple of months ago, I never expected to be here tonight, addressing the nation,' said Tiffany Trump, the daughter of Marla Maples, Trump's second wife.

She noted how she had given a couple of speeches in class before. 'But never in an arena with more than 10 million people watching,' she added.

'But, like my father, I never back down from challenges,' she said.

Tiffany Trump, the youngest Trump daughter, shared memories of her father on tonight's Republican National Convention debate stage, saying he would leave notes on all her report cards

The younger Trump talked mostly about how her dad played a motivating role in her life and the lives of others.

'His desire for excellence is contagious,' she said. 'He possesses a unique gift for bringing that trait out in others starting with those closest to him.'

'He's always helped me be the best version of myself. By encouragement and by example, he motivates me to work my hardest and stay true to who I am and what I believe,' she added.

'That's what he does. He draws out the talent and drive in people,' she said, saying it's a quality great for a dad, but also a plus for a president.

Tiffany Trump revealed that she's held on to all her report cards from growing up.

'Some dating back to kindergarten,' she noted. 'Because I like to look back and see the sweet notes he wrote on each and every one of them.'

'Contrary to what you might expect from someone who places an emphasis on results, my dad's comments referred often to the sentiments expressed by my teachers on how I acted in and out of the classroom, not just even focusing on the letter grades themselves,' she added, using the anecdote to show how much attention The Donald paid to his kids.

'Donald Trump has never done anything halfway, least of all as a parent,' she said.

Tiffany Trump also touted her father's behavior when he found out that she had lost someone 'very dear' to her.

'I feel the measure of a person is revealed in their darkest times,' she stated. 'For me the measure of a parent is based on how they support and bolster you when you're down.'

When her dad found out about her loss, he was the first to call and make sure his daughter was OK.

'Without his unwavering support and care for me during such a challenging time I don't know how I would have made it through,' she testified.

She said her father is great at giving advice, but keeps it short and basically boils down to this: 'If you do what you love and give nothing back and never let the fear of failure get in your way, than you've pretty much figured out the Trump formula,' she said, dubbing her dad a 'natural-born encourager.'

Tiffany Trump said that she loved having her friends meet her father, as many of them have 'pre-conceived notions,' that quickly get washed away.

She spoke of his 'natural charm' and said he had 'no facade' when meeting others.

'In person my dad is so friendly, so considerate, so funny and so real,' she said.

'My friends walk away with a glimpse of all that he is and all that he means to me,' she continued. 'Of the strong, protective, kind, endearing man I am so proud to call my father.'

She applauded the crowd at the end of the speech, just hours after her father was confirmed as the GOP nominee for president

Then the 22-year-old circled back to where the began.

'I never pictured saying all this to a packed arena,' she said, adding that she was grateful to do so.

'I have admired my dad all my life,' she said.

'And I love him with all my heart.'

Just a few hours before, she joined all of The Donald's adult children on the convention floor as he sealed the Republican nomination for president.

They celebrated with the crowd before settling into the evening's speeches.

Donald Trump Jr. delivered a blistering indictment of Hillary Clinton and emerged as a high-profile supporter of school choice and gun rights on Tuesday night as he praised his father.

'If Hillary Clinton were elected, she would be the first president who couldn't pass a basic background check. It's incredible!' he told a packed convention floor in Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena.

'Hillary Clinton is a risk Americans can't afford to take.'

Trump, 38, soaked up applause from thousands – and then tweeted: 'Now that was intense. What a rush.'

He framed the Democratic Party as obstructionist and government-obsessed – and did it without naming them.

'The other party gave us a regulatory state on steroids,' he boomed. 'The other party is the party of risk.'

'The other party gave us public schools that all too often fail our students, especially those who have no options.'.

'Our schools used to be an elevator to the middle class,' Trump said. 'Now they're stalled on the ground floor. They're like Soviet-era department stores that are run for the benefit of the clerks and not the customers, for the teachers and the administrators and not the students.'

The recent college graduate admitted she was nervous about the speech to such a large audience both inside the venue and on TV

She spoke of her father's 'natural charm' and said he had 'no facade' when meeting others. 'In person my dad is so friendly, so considerate, so funny and so real,' she said

She watched as the delegate count was read out by each state on the convention floor

'You know why other countries do better in K through 12? They let parents choose where to send their own children to school!' he exclaimed. 'That's called competition. It's called the free market. And it's what the other party fears.'

'They fear it because they're more concerned about protecting the jobs of tenured teachers than serving the students in desperate need of a good education.'

Trump tweeted on Wednesday: 'Congratulations to my children, Don and Tiffany, on having done a fantastic job last night. I am very proud of you!'

Republican New Jersey governor Chris Christie put Hillary 'on trial' before a whipped-up crowd at the Republican convention.

Christie, a former prosecutor who destroyed Republican Marco Rubio during a New Hampshire debate, this time turned his full force of argument to Clinton, and the crowd lapped it up - and added its own chants of 'Lock her up.'

'Tonight, as a former federal prosecutor, I welcome the opportunity to hold her accountable for her performance and her character,' Christie said.

'We must present those facts to you, a jury of her peers, both in this hall and in living rooms around our nation,' Christie said.

Then, he proceeded to read through a blistering 'indictment,' where he catalogued all of Clinton's misjudgments and misdeeds.

'Hillary Clinton cared more about protecting her own secrets than she did about protecting America's secrets,' he said.

His main convention was to read out his charges, then ask the crowd: 'Guilty or not guilty?'
