President Trump said in an interview with TIME Magazine that he regrets nominating Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
“Yeah. Yeah. What can I do? I put them in,” Trump said when asked whether he regretted nominating the three justices to the high court, according to The Hill.
Trump’s comments follow a series of unfavorable Supreme Court rulings on tariffs, eliminating birthright citizenship, and mail-in voting.
“They voted against me too often,” Trump said.
“I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they vote against me often. They vote for me too,” he added.

The Hill shared further:
Trump went on to note how Democrats “stick like glue” when they vote, saying he admires the party’s loyalty to their leaders.
“So they have loyalty to Barack Hussein Obama. They have loyalty to Biden, even though Biden doesn’t even know who the h*** they are. He wouldn’t know. He doesn’t even know what the Supreme Court is. And me, I gave them the chance of a lifetime, and it’s unfortunate what they did,” he said.
When asked if he wants loyalty from his Supreme Court picks, Trump said he wants “good decisions.”
“The tariff decision was disastrous for the country. I want good decisions for the country,” Trump said.
The president also railed against the high court’s decision to strike down his executive order on birthright citizenship.
Trump recently criticized the Supreme Court after the justices declined to allow the U.S. Postal Service to implement parts of a new mail-in voting rule.
“Republicans just got another bad decision from the United States Supreme Court, one that the Court System took forever to give, and then blamed it, in part, on no time left to implement a solution to our totally CORRUPT and out of control Mail-In voting ‘disaster,’ which is a laughing stock all over the World, and where we are the only country that has to endure such a Nation Destroying SCAM. Justices Alito and Thomas, legends both, strongly disagreed with this horrible, highly political, ruling,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“It is a big loss for Republicans, and America itself, and makes cheating by the Radical Left ‘Dumocrats,’ on Mail-In Ballots, a much easier thing to do – And now they have an open field to do so! The Supreme Court has really let our Country down! Certain Justices are petrified of these crazed and depraved Democrats, and are totally unable to show the courage necessary to save our America,” he continued.
“The Court’s inability and unwillingness to do the right thing for our Country will go down, in a very negative way, in the annals of History. This Supreme Court is bullied and cajoled by the Radical Left into making decisions that have set America back at least a hundred years. These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court, they are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won’t be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal. It is a Court that will go down as having rendered some of the most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country’s history. It is not easy for me to write this criticism of the United States Supreme Court – it will likely cost me dearly for years to come – but I feel it my obligation and duty, as President, to do so for the America we love!” Trump added.
“Let Our Country Down” – President Trump Responds To Supreme Court Decision On Mail-In Voting Rule
USA TODAY has more:
In June, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against his efforts to undo the long-standing principle that all individuals born in the U.S. are American citizens, commonly referred to as birthright citizenship. Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch each dissented.
In another 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court in February struck down Trump's use of presidential emergency powers to issue sweeping tariffs on imports, taking away one of the president's top tools to carry out his aggressive trade policy. Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh dissented.
Despite these losses, Trump has won several other Supreme Court cases that include recognizing presidential power to fire leaders of intendent agencies, allowing the end of deportation protections for Haitians and Syrians, and allowing states to ban transgender women and girls from competing on female sports teams.
And during his first White House term, all three of Trump’s Supreme Court picks in 2022 ruled in favor of overturning a constitutional right to an abortion under Roe v. Wade, helping hand conservatives a win they sought for decades.
