Okay, this should put to rest the hope, the yearning that Donald Trump is the populist savior of the American people. Should also put to rest Donald Trump's attempt to hold the U.S. government accountable, or to clean the swamp as he put it. Just as Nancy put a fence around the Capitol, Trump signed an EO to legally protect the government from prosecution. Thanks, Donald. He's not one of you, or us.
Wow, I didn't know that Trump Signed Executive Order Authorizing Sanctions Against International Criminal Courts. Now, why would he do that? https://t.co/9WkUSAQZgQ

from the Executive Order:
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the situation with respect to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its illegitimate assertions of jurisdiction over personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including the ICC Prosecutor’s investigation into actions allegedly committed by United States military, intelligence, and other personnel in or relating to Afghanistan, threatens to subject current and former United States Government and allied officials to harassment, abuse, and possible arrest. These actions on the part of the ICC, in turn, threaten to infringe upon the sovereignty of the United States and impede the critical national security and foreign policy work of United States Government and allied officials, and thereby threaten the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
This is one reason why the U.S. officials can never be punished for war crimes. It's not like you're going to get a U.S. to prosecute a government official. Only democrats can run faux impeachment theater.
