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 it’s 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 government’s 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 He has dismantled scientific groups and people have left the government because of his policies and he has withdrawn from international accords.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 don’t 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 doesn’t recognize the rule of law. …

Ralph Nader should run again.
Ralph has always been unsafe at any speed. A clear and present danger.
Now they are rolling out the most geriatric Socialists we have ever scene. Ralph Nader is still driving a Chevrolet Corvair.
Desperate is as desperate gets.
Liberal fascism will be dead, stake through its heart, despite Ralph Nader.
Does Ralph think he is unsafe at any speed?
Translation: The American electorate is too stupid to know what’s good for them. They need highly educated elites to carefully manage every aspect of their lives.
We have to find a way to prevent that stupid old “Constitutional Republic” thingy from interfering.
Agreed. President Trump is a danger - to the leftist/socialist/fascist world people like Nader want to create. He is a danger to that world, and I am damn glad of it.
...the Democrats should adopt European concepts...
And there you have it, they aren't even trying to hide anymore. They openly advocate for failed socialist policies.
I wasn’t sure about Trump, but now that Ralph Nadler has come out against him I am positive he is the Best President Ever!
I didn’t know he was still alive.
Surprise, surprise... Ralph isn’t a fan of the Donald. The good news, Trump isn’t the Chevrolet Corvair, but he is the guy behind the wheel and when you consider the alternative... Even Ralph would admit that Hillary would have been a disaster.
I thought Nader was dead.
More seditious behavior from the butt-hurt left.
So speaks the man Democrats must absolutely adore for what he did to their man in 2000.
I thought he died with Buddy Holly.
Name specifics.
Ralph is enough to make you ralph.
I thought Nader was dead (how old is he, 105?) No, I guess just his brain died a few years ago.
I thought Ralph Nader died years ago?
He just looked dead.

Ralph Nader is so 1960s - give it a rest Ralph. Your suggestion of a European style socialism is laughable as even Europeans are beginning to see the folly of it.
