NEWS: Trump officials are worried the ICC may try to prosecute them for war crimes once Trump's term ends, and are threatening sanctions against the ICC to change its founding document to grant them immunity. (via Reuters / link in reply)

“President Donald Trump's administration wants the International Criminal Court to amend its founding document to ensure it does not investigate the Republican president and his top officials.” This is an admission of war crimes. Why else would they seek immunity? Trump knows they fu**ed around.

Isn't it telling Trump & many in his admin, knowing POTUS pardons works only in US, now getting worried about potentially getting looked at by the ICC? Have they also considered, especially ICE Barbie, ICE goons & Hegseth, that many of their crimes may have also violated & be subject to State laws?

This means they would be subject to arrest if they traveled to member countries. There isn't really much they can do about this either but whine about it. The rest of the world is fed up too.

ICC should post an international arrest on sight order against Donald Trump and the criminals enabling him and doing his criminal bidding. He’s a mob boss and convicted felon.

"The ICC, which has long been criticized by U.S. officials including both Republicans and Democrats, who say the court infringes on U.S. sovereignty." Can you believe these fucking people? The USA infringes on the sovereignty of the world DAILY. Its criminals should be brought to justice.

This was and in my mind continues to be an issue with Cheney and W. Obviously, Cheney is dead, but W and about 30 others or not. Under duress like this, the ICC could make a pledge and just say they were forced at gunpoint to do it. More utter stupidity from first felon and his fourth Reich.

I don't want to say that Trump is stupid... Like HELL I DON'T! Trump is stupid. If the ICC can modify its charter to exempt Trump and his fellow criminals, it can modify it back again! What a numpty!

We will have justice if we have a US Presidential Crimes Commission to gather evidence of crimes by administration members under Trump's direction, and by Trump outside of his 'official duties' immunity. Then, a Constitutional Crimes Tribunal can adjudicate appropriate punishment for those crimes.

'if' doing a lot of heavy lifting. If the Dems get back. If they want to investigate. If SCOTUS allows it. If it doesn't ruin funding streams for politicians....... Trump is a symptom of a corrupt system, one that they've all got their snouts in.

War Crimes are prosecutable under US LAW, but a pardon could be used to erase any conviction. The danger comes from "extra-judicial" justice being employed as retribution by aggrieved parties on US Forces or politicians. Basically "live by the sword; die by the sword" #WarCrimesAreNeverJustified

Noet: Within the administration have expressed growing concern that after Trump's term in office, he and his top officials could be targeted for prosecution by the ICC for their actions while in power, such as controversial U.S. military strikes on alleged drug boats in international waters.

Fuck what Trump wants. The ICC should just go forward with the prosecution as I'm sure plenty of Americans would be happy to sell Trump out to The Hague, just like angry Serbians sold Milosevic out after they got rid of him internally.

I need for the brainlets in charge to have a good hard think about what options are left for people seeking justice once they've denied them all legal pathways to do so. Or maybe I don't and just need to make sure I have plenty of popcorn ready.

This should be a campaign issue for everyone running in 2026 - making America a signatory to the ICC, ratifying the Rome Tready and then fully supporting the proceedings at the Hague for some semblance of accountability

Headline should be: Convicted Felon Blackmailing Prosecutors bsky.app/profile/did:...

A Siegel@asiegel.bsky.social

Convicted felon blackmailing court to avoid prosecution That should be the banner headline on @nytimes.com front page and other paper of record across the country. The SCOTUS Six have given Trump free license for a reign of terror, now he wants same from the ICC. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Why is the trump administration threatening the ICC if everything they do is legal they should have nothing to worry about they know they are committing Murder and I hope they end up in international court

Watching with interest. 1. The ICC provides a biased and uneven sort of justice- but are they an entity that they can be bought by hostile individuals or states? 2. Trump is a crime boss attempting to erode the power of any entity that can hold him accountable.

The proe..is, this would demonstrate too the world how powerless the court is to enforce it's laws upon American when the world is busy sucking up to the US. Putin has warrants out, right? Has anyone attested him?

He's such a dirty player. Can't wait until he's gone from this planet. Wanting to have the US do business with Russia is on his list. That's why Witkoff has been spending 5 hours a visit w/ Putin. He's not talking abt Ukraine...it's abt him & Trump doing biz w/ Russia. NO, NO and NO!
