Trump targeted the Supreme Court: He emphasized that his three nominees have betrayed him and are harming the country

The president Donald Trump pointed out the Supreme Court justices during an interview with Time magazine published this Thursday and admitted that his three nominees have not made good decisions for the country.

The president referred to judges Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, nominated to the highest court during his first term. "What can I do? I put them there. They vote against me too often. I gave them the job of their lives and they vote against me regularly," Trump expressed. "The Democrats stick like glue; those three practically never vary. You can propose the worst thing in the world and they will vote in unison."

"And although I don't like it, there is something I admire about that: there is loyalty," the president continued. "So they are loyal to Barack Hussein Obama. They are loyal to Biden, even though Biden doesn't even know who the hell they are. He wouldn't know. He doesn't even know what the Supreme Court is. And I gave them the opportunity of their lives, and it's unfortunate what they did," he added.

Then, Trump referred to the Supreme Court's decision this year that upheld birthright citizenship by overturning his presidential decree. "It's unfortunate what they did, not for me, but for our country. Birthright citizenship is becoming a big industry now. People are making millions and millions of dollars, and we are losing trillions of dollars. It has become a corrupt business," he considered.

When asked by the magazine if he wanted "loyalty" regarding the Supreme Court nominees, Trump was blunt. "No, I don't want loyalty. I want good decisions. The decision on tariffs was disastrous for the country. I want good decisions for the country... I put these people there. Things are what they are."

Trump is right to point out that conservative judges are more likely to cross ideological lines in important cases and that the three leftist justices of the Court—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Jackson Brown— vote in unison and stick to the script.

While this Court has issued favorable rulings for the White House in the last 18 months, its performance in cases such as Trump's tariff policy, the decree on birthright citizenship, and the lawsuit against Fed Governor Lisa Cook has left much to be desired.
