US political activist and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader tells DW why he believes Donald Trump will be a one-term president and why the Democrats should adopt European concepts to win the midterm elections.
[Trump] has gone back on his populist promises. He has brought back Wall Street advisers in his circle of advisers in Washington. He is destroying the law and order for corporate polluters and consumer exploitation and labor abuse. And he is basically running down the regulatory agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the auto safety agency. He is very unstable in foreign policy: one day he is praising dictators and another day he is threatening to obliterate certain countries. And he is continuing the Bush and Obama empire policy of using drones and special forces and having bloated military budgets. [ ][H]ere we have climate disruption increasing and scientific predictions that its moving faster than we thought even a few years ago, and he denies its very existence and says climate change is a hoax. And he put the brake on the federal governments machinery. He has dismantled scientific groups and people have left the government because of his policies and he has withdrawn from international accords. He is a clear and imminent danger not just to the American people, but to the world. [ ]
If the Democrats dont control one or both houses of Congress the next two years will be an unprecedented rampage throughout the country by Trump and his forces. He has no self-restraint and he doesnt recognize the rule of law.

Nader is still alive?
Too darn bad!
He’s 84. And he’s been brain dead since the 60s anyhow.
Yeah, that “European concepts” thing was a good one. Everything after 1848, he means, and just dump the whole Enlightenment thing.
“Ralph has always been unsafe at any speed.”
Ha! Got a good chuckle out of that one.
I didn’t even know that old left wing loony was still alive.
Dumpy Frump Disses Trump
yes, Ralph, he is a danger to your Commie Ass.
I thought Ralph was dead.
Wow they brought out Ralph! Whos next - Bill Bradley would be my pick.
Emptying out the liberal hall of fame isnt going to work. Millennials have no idea who these people are and they hate old people.
Sorry Ralphie, your cred is gone with the left. They’ll never forgive you for the Florida debacle.
His day was over decades ago.
the country would be well-served by purchasing tickets for Ralph Nader and his fellow travelers to move to Venezuala.
Heck even buying them all houses there to live in would be cheaper than dealing with the consequences of their disastrously disordered minds and conduct here at home.
This tool has exposed himself to be a fraud since he has said nada no about the witchhunt last week where a man is presumed guilty. Period. No evidence. No crime.
FURN
This lying stalinist’s jabbering jaw is unsafe at any speed.
And he has bupkiss criticism of Hillary’s war crime murder of a POW named momar gaddafi, the weaponizing of our embassy, the use of our IRS FBI CIA and EPA agsinst rival political parties in America.
But Trump is the threat.
Tell the old man to stop watching MSNBC and Comedy Central for his news.
Move to Cuba and enjoy their socialism, Ralph.
The things Nader is lamenting weren’t written into law. Broad discretion was granted to the Executive to enact regulation by decree. Trump is the Executive, and he has decreed. That you don’t like it is no cause for complaining that the law has been breached.
Well Ralph you should run for POTUS in the Green Party in 20. Please.
