Donald Trump plans to make Hillary Clinton's life hell for the next month!

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (PNN) - October 11, 2016 - Donald Trump issued an unmistakable threat to Hillary Clinton Sunday night: I am willing to cross any line to make the next 30 days of your life hell.

Capping the most devastating 48 hours of his presidential campaign, Trump stunned the country on Sunday by convening a press conference with women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct and calling the former president an abuser of women in a nationally televised debate. The Republican presidential nominee's decision to bring women from Bill Clinton's past into the debate - both physically into the debate hall and into his verbal attacks against Hillary Clinton - signaled a remarkably defiant strategy anchored in some of the most electric allegations that have been leveled against the Clintons in their decades in public life. It also guarantees that in the final, ugly month of the 2016 election, the country's first female presidential nominee will be repeatedly subjected to the indignity of confronting the most painful moments of her marriage in public.

As Bill Clinton looked on from the front row with his daughter Chelsea - and with Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused Clinton of rape, also sitting in the audience - Trump charged that the former president was "abusive to women".

"There's never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women," Trump said. "Bill Clinton was abusive to women. Hillary Clinton attacked those same women and attacked them viciously."

Appearing irritated, and at times even furious, Trump even claimed that Clinton would be "in jail" if he were president.

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook told NBC's "Today" on Monday that Trump's actions and language are the sign of a "spiraling campaign".

"Hillary's steady, she's strong, she's not going to get thrown off her game," Mook said. "That's what Donald Trump tried to do."

Just hours before the debate began, Trump held a last-minute press conference featuring women who have accused Bill Clinton of inappropriate sexual behavior.

Broaddrick looked directly at a small group of reporters in the room and said, "Actions speak louder than words. Mr. Trump may have said some bad words but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don't think there's any comparison."

The spectacle continued even after the debate, with Bill Clinton's accusers appearing in the spin room to speak with reporters.

Meanwhile, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said she's been alone with Trump and he's been "gracious and a gentleman".

At a Pennsylvania rally on Monday, Trump kept up the heat on Clinton over the issue. Trump also said he'll continue to discuss the matter if more candid tapes of him are released.

"Hillary Clinton attacked those women viciously, one woman said more viciously than he attacked," Trump said.

Sunday night marked a dramatic escalation in what had already been an extraordinary weekend in the 2016 presidential election.

A tape released on Friday from more than 10 years ago showed Trump describing in reprehensible terms the aggressive advances he made on women. The revelation threw the Trump campaign into chaos and a flood of Republicans quickly turned their backs on their own Party's presidential nominee.

But rather than attempt to contain the fallout with sincere contrition, Trump signaled Sunday in the most sensational way imaginable that he will subject Clinton to the most agonizing personal indignities.

That strategy will do little to slow Trump's crumbling support within his own Party, and could even spur more defections. Veteran Republicans have long recoiled from dredging up accusations that have been leveled against Bill Clinton, considering it as a losing strategy that turns off voters.

Hillary Clinton and her top aides sought to engage as little as possible with Trump's attacks on the former president.

After Trump's press conference, spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said the Democrat nominee would be "prepared to handle whatever Donald Trump throws her way".

Clinton, meanwhile, simply declined to address Trump's allegation that her husband has abused women.

Instead, she trained her fire on Trump's vulgar comments caught on tape.

"What we all saw and heard on Friday was Donald talking about women, what he thinks about women, what he does to women, and he has said that the video doesn't represent who he is," she said. "But I think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is."

On the campaign plane late Sunday, asked whether she was surprised by the tone of the debate and the women Trump invited, Clinton responded, "Nothing surprises me about him."
