"He's already talking about shutting the country down - again. It's madness," he said.
Trump Jr, who for works for his father's company, said Biden's policies would "crush" the working class voter.
He said: "In fact, if you think about it, Joe Biden's entire economic platform seems designed to crush the working man and woman.
";He supported the worst trade deals in the history of the planet. He voted for the NAFTA Nightmare. Down the tubes went our auto industry.
ECHOES OF HIS FATHER

Echoing one of his father's core messages from the last election, he hit out at Democrats' supposed liberal attitude to illegal immigration.
He said: "Biden also wants to bring in more illegal immigrants to take jobs from American citizens.

Meanwhile, another speech which made waves at the convention was by couple , who were at in in June.
Biden will bring "lawlessness" to America's suburbs, Patty said, speaking at the virtual Republican National Convention.
"They want to abolish the suburbs altogether by ending single-family home zoning," Patty said.
"These are the policies that are coming to a neighborhood near you. Your family will not be safe in the radical Democrats America."
She added the Democrat's proposals "would bring crime, lawlessness and low-quality apartments into thriving suburban neighborhoods".
Her husband Mark continued the rhetoric.
"At this moment in history, if you stand up for yourself and for the values our country was founded on, the mob - spurred on by their allies in the media - will try to destroy you," he added.

Patty then warned those watching the RNC that what happened to them "could just as easily happen to any of you who are watching from quiet neighborhoods around our country".
The McCloskeys have always claimed they were protecting themselves from protesters marching on their private street after they were charged with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon.
The couple, both personal injury attorneys, said they feared the crowd was going to kill them and burn down their home.
They compared their house being burned down to the "storming of the Bastille."
The incident caught the attention of , who accused the prosecutor that charged the couple "
Two of the Republican Party's rising stars offered an optimistic view of Trump's leadership last night.
While other Republicans predicted national turmoil should Trump lose in November, Sen. Tim Scott and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley tried to welcome new voters to the party to help broaden Trump's appeal beyond his hard-core base.
"I was a brown girl in a black and white world," Haley said, noting that she faced discrimination but rejecting the idea that America is a racist country.
She also gave a nod to the Black Lives Matter movement, saying "of course we know that every single black life is valuable."
And Scott, the Republican Party's only black senator, leveled the kind of personal attack against Biden that Trump and his allies could not.
"Joe Biden said if a black man didn't vote for him, he wasn't truly black. Joe Biden said black people are a monolithic community," he said.
He acknowledged that African Americans have sometimes been victimized by police brutality, but later said: "The truth is, our nations arc always bends back toward fairness.
"We are not fully where we want to be ... but thank God we are not where we used to be."

Yet efforts to strike an optimistic tone were overshadowed by talk that Biden would destroy America, allowing communities to be overrun by violence.
Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida likened the prospect of Biden's election to a horror movie.
"They'll disarm you, empty the prisons, lock you in your home, and invite MS-13 to live next door," Gaetz said.
