Donald Trump dismissed Barack Obama's time in the White House as a "disaster" after the US president said he was not fit to succeed him.

US 2016 Presidential Elections: Trump Hits back at ’Disastrous’ Obama

"He's been weak, he's been ineffective," Republican candidate Trump said of Obama in a Fox News interview on Tuesday.

For his part, Obama questioned why Trump's party hasn't disowned him.

In addition, Trump also turned on two senior figures in his own party who have publicly criticized him.

In an interview for the Washington Post, he further refused to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator John McCain, who are up for re-election in November.

Amid the feuding within Republican ranks, prominent party donor and fundraiser Meg Whitman publicly endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton, saying Donald Trump's "demagoguery" had undermined the national fabric.

"To vote Republican out of party loyalty alone would be to endorse a candidacy that I believe exploited anger, grievance, xenophobia and racial division," she wrote on Facebook.

"Trump's unsteady hand would endanger our prosperity and national security. His authoritarian character could threaten much more."
