fear hate and division in the u.s. their criticism comes after a supporter of a far right group was killed on saturday night it happened when backers of the president cost with counter-demonstrations protests have been taking place for nearly 3 months since police in minneapolis killed george floyd an african-american do you seriously wonder mr president why this is the 1st time in decades that america has seen this level of violence it's you who have created the hate in the division it's you who have not found a way to say the names of black people killed by police officers even as people in law enforcement have president trump you bring no peace you bring no respect to our democracy you mr president need to do your job as the leader of this nation and i mr president will do my job as the mayor of this city. mike hanna has more on the war of forums between the president and the mayor of parliament. well the president spent a large part of the morning sending our tweets some 90 of them in just over an hour many of them deeply criticizing their male portland others. those who staged come to demonstrations in portland in the course of the night during which at least one person was killed the identity of the victim the exact circumstances of the shooting not clear at this particular point in time but president tramples are going further and tweeting are to his supporters to emulate those who marched into portland and to take on the demonstrators in a number of other u.s. cities are some signs that some supporters have been listening to him in the course of the day in california at least there were signs of trump supporters confronting anti racism demonstrators in a number of areas jason stanley is professor of philosophy at yale university and the author of how fascism works he says president trump has incited violence to boost his campaign message of fear. mayor tad wheeler was really horowitz in his speech it was really a remarkable thing to state the truth so clearly and that's what we need from more politicians in the united states today the president is using the tactic of inciting protests let's recall that the president sent federal forces into the city of portland to incite protesters lens black lives matter protests were dying out. and he incited these protests and incited also property damage and made them larger in order to run on a message of law and order and now we're in seeing him foment and encourage militias which is of course extremely dangerous the kind of vigilanteism that we've seen in osha where ordinary citizens thinking they are. supporting the president i suppose they are but ordinary citizens that are not part of any of officialdom join go on the streets armed i mean this is this is the hallmark. of authoritarian movements worldwide. both main parties among to negro have claimed victory in its parliamentary elections so early results but presidents millo djukanovic is ruling d.p.'s party narrowly ahead with 35 percent of the votes the opposition alliance has won about 32 percent its supporters have been out celebrating in the streets and its leader has declared the regime has fallen ivan has more from. one to the gross capital. surprising situation and results in montenegro in these elections because this country actually never saw changes in power in its history so even the chance that it might happen is a surprise and surprise is the sharp fall of leading ruling party also a sharp rise of course that would be unqualified but. none of them have enough hands in parliament to create a new government even both sides claim that they will try to form a government today will need the support from other minor parties the good information for all those in montenegro who are supportive for you of this broad western paths the country took in the last couple of years 3 years ago montenegro joined nato alliance it's a front runner in balkans region when it comes to european integration so the good information for all those. country could change its course in that sense is that government could be formed only with the help of the smaller parties there are 3 options and all 3 are very progress that. they will definitely not allowed to change the course of the country in short term and. no matter who is going to be a leading party is it going to be the support from them to nigger ruling party currently or is going to be a pro serbian opposition parties who are claiming that they will form a government at the end. let's discuss these elections with philip a vet she's a political analyst is joining us via skype from boudreaux that's a town in montenegro itself thanks for your time with us on al-jazeera are you surprised by how close this race is. of course the race is so tight that nobody expected it. we have smaller parties that will be king bill at this king makers and a lot of a lot of things are in front of us loves possible scenarios or what i mean by that what sort of possible scenarios and when you talk about these parties that are kingmaker is i mean how is that process going to play out if no party wins an outright majority. so what we have tonight we have the preliminary results stated by the independent n.g.o.s what is very important to mention is that the official state electoral commissions didn't. go out with the video fish results we have claims of which are really by the position part is and according worked to what general said they have the majority of 41 to 42 out of 81 members of the farm. they already announced the coalition we help the possibly in part these with how small a european coalition called united reform action also in the military which mark night and told the public then they are short of one member of parliament to form a majority so preliminary he announced that they last murder is still be out. there in front of us or 2 days until tuesday and that's the legal obligation for this 8 electoral commission to come when he fishel election with the official election and voter turnout we understand has been at an all time high why do you think people are so excited and enthusiastic about this particular vote. the reason you can't mount months long campaign by the church. and of course the main subject of the election and the reason course such such a success of your position because church supported the a position because government tried to implement the new law on the freedom of religion which according to churches opinion endangered its existence in montenegro and what they are. not to go into the realm of speculation here but if there is a victory by the opposition party which of course a 2nd closer ties to serbia and russia then what would this mean for montenegro's place in the balkans and in europe. as i said fortunately the small kingmakers party decided not to form a true coalition with with its opposition. with their opposition colleagues they asked for their support to form the government experts did to means that they are dedicated not changing the policy path of monckton in the interior front because. you're a bloody good visions. if and only if that happens it would mean that would completely change for all its strategies it would change. its stance on the constable dependence on its nato membership and of course because the person we aren't is if they did it more and more than once it wouldn't change the existence of the most modern aggros in the pens they are right on leave it there thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera thank you thank you.
