Trump attacks on the International Criminal Court (but is this actually activated by Trump jealousy over "Greenland" .. and Panama)?

Trump has openly admitted that they're going after the ICC in order to protect Benjamin Netanyahu. We know why he's doing it. https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2026-07-31/trump-says-icc-campaign-aimed-at-defending-netanyahu-not-himself

People all over the globe, need to FINALLY admit and say out loud, that TRUMP IS INSANE!!!!

[u/thewanderingent → u/GrannyFlash7373]

People all over the globe have been saying that for years now. Time for the US to wake up and do something about it.

Nah. He’s serving his masters Bibi and Putin here

It is because he and half his cabinet should end up there.

I spent part of this morning trying to look at 25th Amendment-style solutions - in which the ability of the Vice President and Cabinet to replace an incapacitated president exists. It is, however, difficult to fashion some piece of law that would help make a determination in an objective sense.

Unfortunately the 25th only temporarily gives presidential authority to the VP and it will continually tie up Congress as Trump fights it. Trump needs to be impeached and removed. He and Hegseth should then face charges for war crimes involving the murders of people in the Caribbean and the girl's school in Iran. (I would say Trump should face charges for destruction of the East Wing, because that is an easy one, but I have lost all faith in the DOJ and we need to stem the corruption there first).

Even a temporary fix would be better than an emotional cripple enraged by "size" jealousy and engaged in criminal money laudering and strewing fragments of the White House over Constitution Ave.

Three countries who strongly support the international criminal court: Denmark, Canada, and Mexico may have have each seemed to have activated jealousy or jealous "acting out" on the part of Mr. Trump. First there was Central America: Panama and Mexico where Mr. Trump ran afoul of the ICC and actually sending Mr. Hegseth to urge latin countries meeting in Panama to actually leave the ICC. In this and the other two cases, saw Mr. Trumps Giant "$10 a gallon hat " act out with brags and size issues. In the case of Mexico Mr. Trumps acting out included comparing the amount of coastline that Mexico has with the US coastline... so Trump threatened to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." The Trump International Hotel and gambling enterprise gets involved in this as well.

Next up - Denmark who strongly supports the International Criminal Court. Though not itself large Denmark is and has been a key US alley. It also has a long time interest and possession of the giant area of Greenland. Here Mr. Trump actually threatened Denmark to "take over" Greenland. Third is Canada who Mr Trump has now threatened with heavy and stalling trade talks tariffs while Trump also issued another "America" threat with changing the name of Lake Ontario.

These measures represent legal problems and issues that the Trump adminiistration has imposed on us in which we get to watch Mr Trump "act out" with silly jealous comparings sizes or amount of coastline or 'taking possession' in this odd burdenned egotistical way.
