Too rough? No, kind of in fantasy land though IMO. If you think the ICC or anyone for that matter is going to convict a former US president of anything I have a bridge I would like to sell you.

If you think the US government would allow it or if it happened, allow the enforcement of said ruling you are dreaming. Unless a US court gets him for something he did independent of his time in office(NY hopefully) he will never stand trial.

Well, what’s most likely is the ICC presenting the United States with an ultimatum:
Either you try him and/or his henchmen, or we do.
And as you point out, he and his underlings are in hot water outside of the executive branch of the United States.
You may think it unlikely, but there have to and fro been murmors about criminals from the big nations getting away with crimes, and criminals from small nations getting harsh punishment, so there is certainly a will to make an example that no-one is above the law.
And even though Darth Orange will never see any sanctions for his behavior, his underlings may, and the proceedings themselves may forever tarnish his reputation.
