No fan of Trump, but I agree with him here. The mayor doesn’t have the power to arrest someone for war crimes. If the UN Police grab him, that’s on them.

I really wasn’t sure if they did (there must be some sort of police at the UN Headquarters), but it’s not the mayor’s place to create an international incident. If he wants to say he should be charged, that’s fine but actually having the NYPD arrest him is ridiculous.
But I think he is just grandstanding, surely he isn’t that stupid.
Such a strange coincidence!

“In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT [counterterrorism] activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.

His strategy is “I hate the bleeping Jews and NYC is full of them.” Also what 92tide said. This is his “Wallace at Foster” moment.

There wasn't much of a case to begin with.
there is not, but hearn still has to defend himself and that's not cheap, and having potentially multiple years of federal time hanging over your head, b.s. case or not, is a lot to handleThere wasn't much of a case to begin with.
Sometimes trump is satisfied by just being a severe irritant, financially & time/effort to defend.
