According to Bernie Sanders , the opposition to President Donald Trump is growing in the US . He was very satisfied that an "incredibly strong grassroots opposition" was forming against Trump , Sanders told ZEIT. There would be resistance everywhere, "and I believe this will increase."
Sanders had campaigned for the US election for the presidential candidate for the Democrats, but lost to Hillary Clinton. The democrat, who describes himself as a "democratic socialist", had addressed young voters with his left demands, such as a comprehensive health insurance or the abolition of study fees. Even after Trumps election victory against Clinton, he committed himself to a policy change .
"I can only say to our European friends that we are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to give this man a strong opposition," Sanders told ZEIT. "I think we're making progress." The Republican Party, which belongs to Trump, has developed in a very disturbing way. In the 60 years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower the party had slipped very far to the right. Now she was "really right-wing". Next week Sanders' book Our Revolution will be published in German.
Trump is currently on a nine-day journey to West Jordan. Previously he was in Saudi Arabia and Israel, and further stations are Rome, Brussels and Sicily. In the US, it is because of Russia affair under pressure: Democrats and even some Republicans accuse the president before, with the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey ongoing investigations hindered to have. The US federal police authority investigates whether there have been connections and agreements between Trumps election campaign team and Russia.
