Trump's conflict with his appointed Supreme Court justices

President Trump publicly criticized the Supreme Court -- including justices he himself appointed -- after the court ruled against the administration in a case concerning mail-in ballots, posting on Truth Social that he was disappointed the court had not backed his position. The ruling upheld lower-court decisions protecting existing mail-ballot procedures against a Trump administration challenge, dealing a setback to the White House's broader push to restrict mail voting ahead of the midterms.
