What's antidote of trump being pardoned? The World Court with charges of

Crimes against Humanity with killing of 100s of thousands of Americans by premeditated actions of ignoring the pandemic. If we had allowed Gwb and Cheney, Rumsfeld to tried by the world court we would have never seen a trump in the whitehouse.
