At a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Friday, Trump told supporters that he "wasn't impressed" with Clinton's last debate performance -- or her body.

Trump was responding to claims that he had been "lurking" behind her during Sunday night's presidential debate. Trump dismissed the allegations, claiming that when Clinton walked in front of him, and he wasn't impressed with what he saw.

"She walks in front of me, you know?" Trump said. "And when she walked in front of me, believe me, I wasn't impressed."

Trump's response was met with cheers and whoops from the crowd.

"But she walks in front of me and she takes a question and she walks back," Trump continued. "And that was the end of that, no problem. Then she said the next day I invaded her space! Give me a break."

Earlier this morning, Clinton told Ellen DeGeneres that Trump had "literally stalked" her during the debate.

While Trump's comment about Clinton may have attracted the most attention on Friday, Trump's speech addressed other criticisms of his behavior towards women. Responding to Jessica Leeds' claim that Trump assaulted her on a plane, Trump seemed to claim that she was too unattractive for him to touch.

"She would not be my first choice ... That would not be my first choice," Trump said.
