Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton responded to Donald Trump's recent claims that she does not have "the strength or the stamina" to campaign in early primary states in an interview on "This Week" with ABC News' chief anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Before listening to the clips of Trump's comments, Clinton sat back and chuckled, "Oh, dear. A new one, huh?"

"She'll do a couple of minutes in Iowa, meaning a short period of time. And then she goes home," Trump said Saturday at a campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa. "You don't see her for five or six days. She goes home, goes to sleep. I'm telling you. She doesn't have the strength. She doesn't have the stamina."

Clinton watched the clip and laughed along with the crowd at Trump's rally. When the clip concluded, Clinton responded, "Who can agree with anything he says that is, you know, subject to one second of fact checking?"

She added, "there's a certain attractiveness to people that here's a guy who says exactly what he believes, untrue as it may be, inflammatory as it certainly is."

Trump has made it part of his stump to verbally attack candidates on both sides of the aisle, including the energy level of Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio's sweating on stage during Republican debates.
