Watch Live Stream: Donald Trump Rally In Fletcher, North Carolina

A day after he was booed and jeered by the Manhattan elite at the Al Smith Dinner in New York City for continuing his attacks against Hillary Clinton at what is traditionally a night for self-deprecating humor, Donald Trump will face a friendlier crowd Friday when he appears at a rally in Fletcher, North Carolina.

Trump is scheduled to appear at noon Eastern time at the WNC Agricultural Center's Davis Event Center for a rally in the swing state. He'll finish his day with two rallies in another swing state: Pennsylvania.

But first, the Tar Heel State, where polls show him trailing Clinton following a disastrous three weeks for him. Watch a live stream of his North Carolina appearance as soon as it begins below:

Trump and Clinton may have taken a night off from campaigning Thursday evening to appear at the roast-style Al Smith charity dinner in New York, but they still brought 18 months of campaign baggage with them — especially a particularly combative previous 24 hours in which they dueled on the debate stage where Clinton baited him into losing his temper and Trump called her a "nasty woman."

On Thursday night, the two attempted to disguise their anger and obvious dislike for one another, which is perhaps not surprising since she has called him a "threat" to the country and he has threatened to throw her in jail, should he win the White House. Both Clinton and Trump managed to get a joke or two off, but they received much more in the way of boos from the crowd.

Only Cardinal Timothy Dolan stood between the two of them as they traded what were supposed to be lighthearted barbs.

That's the tradition, anyway — the candidates gather with the clergy and guests, and the nominees poke light fun at each other. Instead, Trump, who spoke first, was booed loudly after deviating from the jokes and outright calling Clinton "corrupt." He started off poking fun at his wife Melania for her plagiarism of Michelle Obama's speech at the Republican National Convention and joking Clinton bumped into him backstage and said "pardon me," eliciting his response, "We'll see about that after I get into office." But things crumbled from there as Trump fell into his campaign stumping, and the crowd grew restless.

Clinton delivered a less controversial speech, joking about her health, saying she'd normally be taking a nap this late, and saying Trump looks at the Statue of Liberty and "sees a 4, maybe a 5." She closed with a thank you for the real purpose of the dinner — raising funds for children's charities through the Archdiocese of New York.
