Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump passed a statement at a recent rally that has not gone down well with many people. At a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the former United States president&nbsp;thanked the husbands of some of his female supporters for allowing them to come to his rallies.

Trump also used the moment to thrash the people who say that women hate him. "Somebody said 'women don't like Donald Trump.' I said, 'I think that's wrong. I think they love me. I love them,'" he said to a roaring crowd.&nbsp;

Notably, a group of women from North Carolina was present at the rally and Trump said they had been following him and had&nbsp;attended 220 of his rallies.

The&nbsp;Republican presidential nominee went on to say further controversial things about the women and their husbands, saying that he once asked them, how did they "put up with this?"

"Their husbands are great, but they allow them to go all over the country, they follow me all over the country," he said of the group of women at the Johnstown rally.&nbsp;

"I spoke to the husbands one time, I say 'how do you put up with this? ...Your wives are travelling all over the place."

Trump also called the women "beautiful" and praised them for being wealthy. They are "always perfectly coiffed," Trump said.
