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 He has dismantled scientific groups and people have left the government because of his policies and he has withdrawn from international accords.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.

There, that ought to do it.
Y’all do realize that language is legalese justification for assassination, right?
Nader is essentially urging someone to assassinate President Trump.
Only from the neck up.
You lost before you ever began, Mr Nadler.
“I didnt know he was still alive.”
I didn’t either. He must be about 170. Like Diane Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, RBG, Donna Shalala and Maxine Waters. Don’t these old Marxists ever retire or die. We’ll probably be treated to some horrid spectacle of them embalmed and put on display in glass coffins for perpetuity like Lenin.
He’s still alive? Usually he only makes news when he’s running for POTUS.
Thanks, Ralph. Now, sit down and eat your oatmeal, and drink your prune juice.
After Bush 2 won in 2000, partly due to votes taken from Algore by Nader, I was with a group of Freepers welcoming people going to the WhiteHouse Correspondents dinner. When we saw Nader all the way across the very wide DC road (Connecticut Ave?), we all started cheering him and thanking him. From the distance, he was smiling. That changed when he got closer and could read our signs.
Hes a charter member of the Ralph club.
Nader the man that ruinedmy cracker Jacks.
Nader’s still alive? Who woulda thunk!
Yeah, you said that about the Corvair too, Nader. Not buying it this time.
Nader used to be sharper in his younger years. I think he lost some pragmatism along the way.
Not that he was always right, but he has slipped from discussing ideas to the small mindedness of discussing people.
Seems to be a lot of that going around lately. Maybe the information age has made us all a little dumber.
Exactly right, that false accusation of Trump being a “danger”.
Stale, failed 60’s era leftist jargon, doesn’t get any better with time. So dated, so anachronistic. Nader should found his own “Museum of Leftist Failure”. That would be a positive educational contribution that he actually could successfully complete, unlike anything else he has ever attempted.
They should have made an eight-cylinder version.
