It appears Donald Trump is concerned that the International Criminal Court is interfering against his constitutional right to commit crimes against humanity.
Truth be told, this has been the official position of the United States since well before the creation of the ICC, that US criminality is our God given right, so this is not so much a departure in policy as it is saying the quiet part out loud:
Donald Trump has signed an executive order that authorises aggressive economic sanctions against the international criminal court (ICC), accusing the body of “illegitimate and baseless actions” targeting the US and Israel.
The order grants the US president broad powers to impose asset freezes and travel bans against ICC staff and their family members if the US determines that they are involved in efforts to investigate or prosecute citizens of the US and certain allies.
Truthfully, if the ICC had any meaningful power over the United States, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney would be spending the rest of their lives as cell-mates.
Expect US lawlessness to continue unabated.
