Over Easter, Matt Ford suggested Donald Trump might one day soon be hunted down by the International Criminal Court and put on trial like a mass-murdering warlord from the Balkans or the Congo.
“There will be no post-presidential peace for Donald Trump,” Ford thundered in the pages of The New Republic, before providing a litany of high crimes and misdemeanors that would justify a meeting with fate at The Hague.
“The shuttering of the Kennedy Center may be the least of Trump’s second-term sins,” Ford opined.
“In the first year since returning to power, Trump and his subordinates have pushed the country toward fascism and oligarchy. He has turned Washington into an orgy of corruption and self-dealing beyond even the most cynical observer’s imagination. He has transformed Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol into a lawless paramilitary force that has besieged American cities and killed at least five U.S. citizens and 22 foreign nationals. He has abused Americans and their immigrant neighbors alike simply because he can.”
Given everything that happened to Donald Trump during his first term and then the four long years of the Biden presidency, it should come as no shock that his enemies are already thinking of ways they can punish him, his family, and his supporters as soon as they have the power to do so.
