DHAKA: The Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has called Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump “dangerously incoherent”.

She said Trump was unfit to be president and his election would be a “historic mistake”.

Trump hit back, saying Clinton “no longer has credibility - too much failure in office”.

Outside Trump’s rally in San Jose, California, anti-Trump protesters clashed with his supporters in one of the worst such confrontations so far.

Several Trump supporters were punched, one was pelted with eggs and others were spat at, said BBC on Friday (June 3).

But in a boost for the presumptive Republican nominee, US House Speaker Republican Paul Ryan said he would back his candidacy.

Ryan had previously refused to back Trump and his support is the latest sign Republicans are unifying around their nominee.

He wrote in a column in his hometown Gazette newspaper in Wisconsin “we have more common ground than disagreement”, and he attacked Clinton saying: “A Clinton White House would mean four more years of liberal cronyism.”
