UN Human Rights "Expert" Who Supports Dictators Says Trump Won't Last Four Years

"A left-wing Swiss sociologist who advises the U.N. Human Rights Council predicts that President Trump will not serve a full term, saying that his tenure will be cut short either by psychiatric problems or insurmountable pressure.

Jean Ziegler, who has a history of sympathizing with despotic regimes and criticizing the U.S. and Israel, told the Austrian daily Kurier that both impeachment or premature resignation were conceivable.

'I do not believe that Trump will remain in office for four years,' he said in German. 'Either there will be psychiatric problems or the pressure will become so great that he can no longer govern.'...

Ziegler collaborated with Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in establishing an award called the Muammar Gaddafi Human Rights Prize, which was awarded to Castro in 1998. (Other recipients included Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, the leftist leaders of Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia, and Roger Garaudy, a French author and convert to Islam who denied the Holocaust.)

In 2005, a comment by Ziegler comparing Israelis to concentration camp guards brought a reprimand from then-U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan. Seventy U.S. lawmakers from both parties wrote to Annan to thank him, and urged him to take 'disciplinary action' against Ziegler...

During his Kurier interview, Ziegler again defended the Cuban revolution, saying that in two-and-a-half generations it had transformed a racist, distressed third world country into a 'life-worthy state.'

'Everyone eats, goes to school, has medical care of the highest quality – which is a great achievement in the southern hemisphere.'

He also defended former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013 (Castro died last year), saying Chavez had in 12 years lifted millions of people from the 'worst misery' and given them a chance of a dignified existence..."
