President-elect Donald Trump signals immediate actions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to arrest warrants issued for Israeli leaders.
According to sources close to the matter, cited by Israel Hayom, Trump plans to impose severe sanctions on the ICC in The Hague immediately after taking office. Executive orders could be unveiled as early as January 21, just one day after his inauguration.
The sanctions package will target both individual ICC officials, including judges and prosecutors, and the institution itself. The administration plans to classify the ICC as a threat to U.S. interests, using a designation process similar to that employed by the U.S. State Department for global terrorist organizations.
This designation would bring severe restrictions on anyone associated with the court’s activities. Financial institutions worldwide would be required to sever ties with ICC personnel or face U.S. sanctions. Mirroring measures taken against Israeli citizens under similar sanctions, ICC staff would be unable to conduct ordinary banking operations or use credit cards, effectively freezing their economic activities. Additionally, any assets in the U.S. belonging to ICC employees or the institution itself would be frozen.
The new administration’s strategy extends beyond unilateral actions. It plans to secure commitments from U.S. allies to refuse cooperation with arrest warrants issued for Israeli officials.

He really does think he’s King of the World. And who knows what stuff they got on him. And he wants to buy Greenland, Canada, Panama, etc. What kind of ego and/or compliance does it take to set oneself up as a world dictator? I just wish I could propel 50 years into the future to see how this all plays out, and to see what the history books wrote.
Old saying: “Anything is better than nothing.” Any effort to help The Bill of Rights be honored as Supreme Law of the Land, any method of fighting back, all better than doing nothing. Doing nothing is deadly. I have to believe that the efforts will add up and we-the-people will somehow turn it around. 1775 left a template.
