The billionaire said it was \"all false stuff\" and there was a \"concerted effort\" to take down his campaign. \"My people always say, \'Don\'t talk about it, talk about jobs, talk about the economy\',\" Trump told his supporters.\"But I feel I have to talk about it because you have to dispute when somebody says something.\"

Washington : Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has described himself a "victim" as more women came forward accusing him of sexual assault and harassment.As you have seen, I am a victim of one of the great political smear campaigns in the history of our country," CNN quoted Trump as saying on Friday at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina.  "They are coming after me to try and destroy what is considered by even them as the greatest movement in history."

The billionaire said it was "all false stuff" and there was a "concerted effort" to take down his campaign. "My people always say, 'Don't talk about it, talk about jobs, talk about the economy'," Trump told his supporters."But I feel I have to talk about it because you have to dispute when somebody says something."

Trump on Friday forcefully denied the allegations that he kissed and groped several women without their consent -- actions he had bragged about being able to do in a 2005 video revealed by the Washington Post ahead of the second presidential debate recently.According to him, if just a sliver of voters believe those allegations which he describes as just the "locker room talk", he will lose the election."If five per cent of the people think it's true -- and maybe 10 per cent -- we don't win," Trump said.The comments came less than two hours after two women alleged Trump groped them without their consent.
