LOS ANGELES — Donald Trump was “all wrought up” and angry during the last presidential debate, and tried to physically dominate the debate stage, Hillary Clinton said in an interview airing Friday

“It was clear that my opponent, Donald Trump, was going to try to dominate the space almost to the exclusion of the people who were sitting there,” Clinton said of the town hall-style debate Sunday.

“I mean, they were sitting there so that we could talk to them and that they could ask questions we would then answer. And because of the revelation of the public video, and everything that came out on 'Access Hollywood' he was really all wrought up, and you could just sense how much anger he had,” Clinton said in an interview with television host Ellen DeGeneres.

“He was really trying to dominate, and then literally stalk me around the stage,” Clinton said. “I would just feel this presence behind me, and I thought 'whoa, this is really weird.'”

Clinton said she focused on “trying to keep my composure, trying to interact with the moderators, but really for me, more with the people there.”

The interview airs Friday on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” The show released a video clip from the interview, showing Clinton in a simulated dance-off with debate participant and unlikely Internet hero Ken Bone. Clinton taped the appearance Thursday, ahead of fundraising events here.

Earlier Thursday, she had told donors in San Francisco that “it is a little challenging debating someone like that. He seemed remarkably unacquainted with the truth.”

Clinton and Trump hold their final debate on Wednesday in Las Vegas.
