Between his diet and his sun downing I hope his days are numbered.

(39,897 posts)that he is so shameless as to let actual intelligent and competent government leaders see what a total moron he is in person. He thinks he is better than all of them!
If he dares to mention wanting ownership of Greenland or a stupid ceremony for his greedy Peace Board initiative, they should all get up and walk out of the room.

(100,357 posts)They are having them now. Maybe that's why that helicopter is hanging around overhead, listening in perhaps?
I wish they would just scoop him up and deliver him to The Hague. What's smokey eyed jdv gonna do about it? Or anyone? I mean, if we can extract a president/ruler from his own country, why can't members of the EU extract this criminal from their lands and deliver him to a real court of law? I'm sure there would be adequate charges to hold him there by the time the door closes behind him.

Typical response.
You tell me, and please be very specific, what arrestable offense was committed in Switzerland that would give Swiss police the authority to arrest him? Just name one.

(31,712 posts)Kidnapping a foreign leader is generally considered a severe violation of international law and can constitute an international crime, often defined as an unlawful act of aggression, hostage-taking, or a violation of state sovereignty
Regarding your second question, Switzerland is a party to the International Criminal Court (ICC), having ratified the Rome Statute in 2001 so the requirement that the crime be committed in Switzerland is not a requirement to arrest Trump.
Therefore it would be possible for the Swiss to arrest Trump and render him to The Hague.
I don't think it is even remotely likely, but it is possible.
yellow dahlia
(4,818 posts)Why not?
2naSalit
(100,357 posts)International crimes, I think that might qualify along with all those crimes against humanity he's piling up.
That kind of stuff.
Greg_In_SF
(912 posts)cannot arrest him for international crimes without a warrant from the International Criminal Court.
2naSalit
(100,357 posts)This is such a ripe opportunity, the rest of the world would thank them. Perhaps some country will file for such detention.
Greg_In_SF
(912 posts)Just maybe.
bdamomma
(69,194 posts)ass, and it starts from home!!!
2naSalit
(100,357 posts)To deal with this ass and nothing but giving him more power has happened. If the rest of the world thinks we've all had enough of him, I'm good with that if they actually remove him from office and if it means giving him a ride to the ICC, fine with me too.
bdamomma
(69,194 posts)nice if we could deny him access back into the US?????? Pootie can take him!!!

Greg_In_SF
(912 posts)they can investigate. Still cant arrest him without a warrant from the international criminal court though.

PS: I believe you are correct also: There's no practical way to prosecute a fellow with diplomatic immunity, apart from kidnapping him by commando raid of overwhelming force in the dead of night when his location is divulged and defenses lowered by his inner circle.
Greg_In_SF
(912 posts)said, it starts here in the US.

(13,263 posts)And that is, because of his overall health, he doesn't feel he'll be alive to see them again. That's why he has to have his name up on every gawddam thing NOW!
kacekwl
(8,917 posts)he's dying soon and is more than willing to destroy everything in his wake.
Totally Tunsie
(11,620 posts)that he would be able to keep it a secret. "Motor Mouth" kicks in and he just blathers on, without control. He's always such a victim that his normal impulse , IMO, would be for him to again play that card. "Oh, woe is me. I'm dying, DYING I say. Love me, pity me, pleeeeease!"
Nothing would make me happier to hear for sure that he's on death's door. Are you listening, Lord?

Captain Zero
(8,767 posts)And he's in Switzerland today ?
That's a lot of flying for a sick man with circulatory system issues. Add jet lag. Add stroke brain.
He's going to be acting deranged.

(7,253 posts)Trump only feels fully alive when he is the center of attention. Feeling the hate and suppressed rage is even better than feeling the adulation of his followers.
mwmisses4289
(3,368 posts)He's the metaphorical wedding crasher. Davis gets international attention, he has to be there. Hope he gets snubbed like crazy.
IcyPeas
(24,950 posts)He has no shame. He doesn't care what people say about him. He only wants his name and face out there.
FakeNoose
(40,379 posts)He thinks they love him because he's so brilliant and a such a strong leader. He really has no clue how the rest of the world feels about him. Of course he's going, even though he wasn't invited. And he'll be a total jerk the entire time.
