What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

I guess I don't see how this is different from what the US government has done for the past 70 years.

At some point DC will just declare all humans terrorists.

It's the only way to be sure of course.
Plus we'll quickly find out who the lizard people are

This is nonsense.  If exporting food counts as a "war sustaining industry", then anything does. 

No your conclusion does not follow.  It is not merely "exporting food."  It is monetizing war booty expropriated by a conquering army.  As in any hypothetical or actual legal proceeding, the facts matter.

Where does it say you can deprive people of food if it counts as "War booty"?

The only actors depriving people of food are Russian occupation forces.

Raz since you don't seem to be aware,

Russia is occupying Ukrainian sovereign territory, and has illegally seized Ukranian resources of all kinds.  Those seizures include millions of tons of Ukrainian grain.  The grain is seized by occupying forces, transported to Crimean ports under Russian military control, and then loaded onto ships with bogus manifests and disconnected transponders to avoid detection since the entire exercise is unlawful.  The illegally obtained export revenue is then used to defray the costs of Russia's military occupation.

It is not a violation of laws of war for Ukraine to target those shipments.  Therefore, it is not selective prosecution to go after (e.g.) Russian atrocities in Bucha, or Russian kidnappings and brainwashing of Ukrainian children, or Russian targeting of Ukrainian Churches.  The former is not a crime and thus not subject to prosecution.  The latter are crimes and thus subject to prosecution.  Selectivity doesn't enter into it.

This is the most tortured whataboutism I have ever seen.

Unlawful exports allow you to target civilians?  I was not aware that international law made that allowance.  Anyway, Vladimir Putin has already been charged with war crimes.  It's not like you can't investigate alleged Ukrainian war crimes now as well.

[The Brain]

Lots of civilian activities/installations etc are legitimate targets. Civilians themselves are legitimate targets to a much lesser degree.

If a crime was committed and Ukraine's legal system refused to act, I can't see why it would be controversial for the ICC to investigate.

I'm sure the ICC will start any moment now.  They probably have another rapist in hock to the Qataris somewhere around.
