I like your thinking, but he's never going to be tried in the Hague. The US has made clear it will invade the Netherlands if a US citizen is going on trial here, and besides, he's either mentally unfit or he won't live that long.

For what it's worth, the act only authorises the president to command that to happen rather than requiring them to do so. It has a bunch of prohibitions on doing anything to facilitate the ICC, including on extraditing American citizens to get them on trial, but if he somehow does end up in the Hague then the then-president is 100% within their rights to just abandon him there

Of course I don't expect him to ever come close to winding up in the Hague in the first place. What a beautiful sight it would be if it did happen

They'd never do it. Plenty of war crimes have been done by Democratic-party run governments too. They don't want to open that door, even if Trump's warcrimes are 10x as bad and 100x as obvious.
