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 out 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 antiracism demonstrators in a number of areas but the mayor of portland fighting back and this is what he had to say do you seriously wonder mr president why this is the 1st time in decades that america has seen this level of violence. Its you who have created the hate in the division its you who have not found a way to say the names of black People Killed by Police Officers even as people in Law Enforcement power of 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 is the mayor of this city.

Thank you very much for that update from washington d. C. Lets talk about all of this with jasons down the hes a professor of philosophy universities also the author of how fascism works hes joining us from new haven thanks very much for your time with us on al jazeera so as youve been her hearing President Trump is. Often fanning the flames according to some people over in the u. S. And democrats in particular and using this as a way to help his reelection chances so is this an intentional strategy by the president do you think. Of course its an intentional strategy and mayor ted wheeler was really horowitz in his speech it was really a remarkable thing to state the truth so clearly and thats what we need from more politicians in the United States today the president is using the tactic of inciting protests lets recall that the president sent federal forces into the city of portland to incite protesters when the black lives matter protests were dying out and and he incited these protests that incited also you know Property Damage and made them larger in order to run on a massacre of law and order and now were seeing him foment and encourage militias which is of course extremely dangerous the kind of vigilanteism that weve seen in can osha will where ordinary citizens thinking they are you know supporting the president i suppose they are but ordinary citizens that are not part of any official dont join go on the streets armed i mean this is this is the hallmark. Of authoritarian movements worldwide all right well if youre saying that this is an intentional strategy then is this going to work how little and how is it going to actually affect his reelection chances i think unfortunately it helps because you know one thing we have to see is well have to say but its its this is this tactic of creating the. Jason stanley are you still with us. Our apologies we seem to have lost our lost our connection with Jason Stanley he was speaking to us from new haven will move away from that and take you to montenegro thats where both main parties have claimed victory in its parliamentary elections so early results put president jew kind of which 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 the clear the regime has fallen Ivan Popovich has more from montenegros 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 surprising and it surprises the sharp fall of leading ruling party also a sharp rise of course or be unqualified but. None of them have enough hands environment 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 was a supportive for you of this broad western path of that country took in the last couple of years 3 years ago montenegro joined Nato Alliance its a front runner in balkans region when it comes to european integration so the good information for all those who are afraid country could change its course in that sense is that the government could be formed only with the help of the smaller parties there are 3 options and all 3 are very progress there are interests they will definitely not allowed to change the course of the country in a short term and. No matter who is going to be a leading party is it going to be the sporting moment in either a 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. Well take you back to one of our top stories the protest in the u. S. City of portland and the president is accused of creating culture of hate and division we were speaking to jasons down the a moment ago well bring him in now jason apologies we lost you for just a moment but lets just pick up on what we were talking about and you were saying that trump is creating a culture of fear hate and division over in the u. S. But what trump is saying about the democrats is that hes framing the unrest as a fallout from their inept leadership according to him and their inability to take control of the cities so how do the democrats change that conversation well. These have been largely peaceful protests with some Property Damage until portland yesterday or the day before when tragically a trump supporter i think was murdered there been all the violence has been from the far right the crime rate in the United States is near historic lows so the idea that democrats run cities are somehow out of control is is absurd if you compare the crime rates currently to the Unemployment Rate which is very high and the economy i dont think theres been a time in recorded history where the crime rate is this low given the how high the Unemployment Rate is so you have to show what democrats need to do is they need to emphasize that these democratic run cities are have to still have historically low crime rates and times of enormous of enormous unemployment and economic disruption of rain but when an induction year or so should democrats be worried that the images that theyre says of people are seeing of violence and destruction is going to turn some suburban swing voters away from the party. Democrats need to be always worried about this a lot of these scenes are taken out of context are some i add or kiss you are breaking things that break and looting and they should be dealt with by by the authorities but what are you going to do about this kind of propaganda you can always take a protest that has tens of thousands of people who are perfectly p. Peaceful and focus on 2 people who are breaking things and say that its about them so im not really sure what you can do with propaganda this is a worldwide problem you see this and in india when the government tries to represent the protests about the citizenship Amendment Act as riots in hong kong when the Chinese Government tries to represent prodemocracy protests as riots this is a standard authoritarian tactic to represent democratic protests in favor of the equality and justice as riots as were seeing this in the United States like we see it everywhere so what is the it is going to happen next i mean the president is saying that hes weighing up sending in the National Guard to portland. What would that actually mean politically and could there be a fallout there. There could be if i mean we have to the news media has to be clear as mayor wheeler was quite heroically that the president as part of his Election Campaign is trying to create is trying to incite violence in order to create this samaj that hes imposing law and order so you know this is something that should be familiar to every country what do you do in these circumstances one thing to do is to point out that whatever is happening is happening under the presidency of donald trump all right Susan Stanley we thank you very much for speaking to us from new haven thank you very much.
