Why wouldn't they?
Well the USA does not endorse the international Court if I remember correctly. They even pressured it in the past and stated they would take military actions if needed.
Anyone who thought Trump would be in jail "any day now" has apparently not seen how our appeal system works when you are a nonviolent offender with a lot of money to hire the best lawyers.
They can file an appeal bond, where you remain free until the appeal process has been seen through. They don't tend to get thrown into jail until the appeal process has run its course. This is different from a violent offender, or perhaps some poor offender who is stuck with a grossly overworked public defender.
That demonstrates a very poor understanding of our history, specifically the era of our Robber Barons, which we dealt with over the course of about 50 years in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You should look up the tax system we put in place over those years, and the origins of our anti-trust laws.
power abhors a vacuum.
