Two more women accused Donald Trump of sexual assault on Friday, but the presidential candidate again defiantly denied any misconduct and denounced what he called an international political and media plot against him.
President Barack Obama warned meanwhile that America's very democracy is at stake in the November 8 presidential election because of the Republican nominee.
As Trump spoke at a rally, Summer Zervos, an ex-contestant on his reality TV show "The Apprentice" came forward to accuse him of kissing, groping and thrusting his genitals at her during a meeting at a California hotel in 2007.
Also Friday a former aspiring model, Kristin Anderson, told the Washington Post that Trump had sidled up to her in a nightclub in the early 1990s, reached under her skirt and touched her vagina through her panties.
They were the latest in a stream of women accusing Trump of predatory sexual behavior, adding to the woes of his now free-falling presidential bid.
The torrent was unleashed by the release last Friday of an audio from 2005 in which Trump bragged that he could get away with grabbing women's crotches because he's famous.
"Lies, lies, lies," Trump thundered at a rally Friday in Greensboro, North Carolina, referring to sexual misconduct allegations reported by the New York Times and other media.
"They are all false. They're totally invented," he asserted.
Of Natasha Stoynoff, a former People magazine reporter who charges that Trump tried to force his tongue down her throat during a 2005 meeting at his Florida mansion to interview him for a story, Trump said: "She's a liar. She's a liar."
"The reason she didn't write it 12 years ago is very simple. It never happened, never happened."
Trump also had words for Jessica Leeds, who said he groped and kissed her as they sat next to each other on a plane in the 1980s.
'Corrupt media' 
Said Trump: "Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you."
The crowd laughed and clapped.
Trump also targeted Carlos Slim, the Mexican billionaire who is the largest shareholder in the New York Times, saying he is plotting against Trump.
"The corrupt media is trying to do everything in their power to stop our movement," Trump said.
"Now Carlos Slim as you know comes from Mexico. He's given many millions of dollars to the Clintons and their initiative," Trump said alluding to the Clinton Foundation.
Arturo Elias, Slim's son-in-law and spokesman, said Slim has never met Trump and "is not interested in his personal life in the slightest."
Against a backdrop of rising drama and anger, Obama, campaigning for Clinton in Cleveland, warned that much is at stake in the election.
He blasted Trump as a dictator-in-the-making, but also voiced concern about how Trump's legion of supporters might react to defeat. Trump has repeatedly said the election is rigged.
"Civility is on the ballot," Obama told a group of largely young voters in the swing state of Ohio.
"Tolerance is on the ballot," he continued. "Courtesy is on the ballot. Honesty is on the ballot. Equality is on the ballot. Kindness is on the ballot. All the progress we made in the last eight years is on the ballot.
"Democracy itself is on the ballot right now," Obama said.
'C'mon man!' 
As Trump tanks in the polls, he has spent the last week claiming that the media and a "global elite" are working against him.
"Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of US sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors," Trump told supporters in Florida.
Obama gave that claim short shrift on Friday. 
"C'mon man!" he said. 
"This is somebody who... is now suggesting that if the election doesn't go his way, it's not because all the stuff he's said, but it's because it's rigged and it's a fraud.
"You don't start complaining about the refs before the game's even done. You just play the game, right?" 
Obama's speech was the second strike at Trump in as many days by the US presidential couple -- after Michelle Obama caused a sensation with an impassioned takedown of the Republican nominee.
Clinton has no campaign rallies planned for coming days, leaving Trump to battle on alone in a sea of swirling sexual assault allegations.
Many elected Republican officials, worried about their re-election prospects, have taken their distance from Trump, though some have since reversed their stance, citing fears that Clinton's appointments as president would move the Supreme Court sharply to the left.
