Every time I think we’ve hit maximum “cartoon villain” with Trump, I find out I was wrong.

You would expect the icc must have done something to America or Americans but no. It’s just ex ICC judge winning Nobel peace price.
I can’t even name a cartoon villain who would do such a thing for such reasons😭.

In his “defense,” the plan to sanction the ICC came before the Nobel. Some of the reporting even claims that the Nobel committee chose to give the prize as a response to the threatened sanctions.
He’s sanctioning the ICC because they’ve stood up to him in the past on issues like Netanyahu.

I mean cartoon villains usually succeed up to a certain point. Trump is a desperate loser that cannot accomplish literally anything.

Good thing the ICC’s headquarters is not in the US.
If it were I can just see Trump & Co shutting down the offices they work out of.

Sadly, they still get hit by sanctions when it comes to banking, software, etc.
If Europe and the rest of the world doesn’t immediately defend it, it might be done for.
This also will probably accelerate the decoupling from US services and software the rest of the world has been working on.

Something tells me the image of the ICC faxing things to people in the name of justice will stick. But they’ll probably just use Proton Mail or something.
The idea that to serve on this court, you have to face sanctions, might scare away a lot of judges, but the ones who still choose to do it will know exactly what they’re doing this for.

Yeah, I get the impression Navi Pillay would have joined regardless of that sanction risk, as an example.

Last time he had tantrum he had Microsoft block some accounts and Visa or Mastercard payment. It was the signal for the rest of the world to move away from USA products.
They would 100% have the building stormed by feds and have everyone inside arrested and detained indefinitely.

Because the winner of the Nobel peace prize was announced yesterday and her name is Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, an ICC judge.
It’s all about him.

Edit:
“The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Syracuse, New York, Friday night. He called the snub an “indelible stain on the country of Norway and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision.”
Someone hurt his fee-fees.
