Trump lamented that these justices often vote as a bloc, similar to Democratic justices, and expressed a desire for loyalty rather than decision-based judgments. He criticized several court decisions, including rulings against his policies on birthright citizenship, mail-in ballots, and federal funds, which he said are damaging to the country and rooted in questionable motivations. Despite benefiting from a conservative majority that has struck down lower court injunctions and expanded presidential powers, Trump acknowledged that some of his nominees&#8217; decisions have not aligned with his wishes, leading to frustration. he emphasizes the importance of good decisions over loyalty in the judiciary and criticizes recent court rulings he perceives as detrimental to his agenda and the nation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court during a Time Magazine interview this week, arguing that his three nominees have failed to make good decisions for the country.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/article\/2026\/10\/01\/donald-trump-2026-interview-transcript\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a>, conducted at the White House Monday and released Thursday, covered a range of topics, including the Supreme Court striking down key Trump policies like his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive order<\/a> on birthright citizenship and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/25pdf\/26a305_4g15.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">restrictions<\/a> on mail-in ballots.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was asked about comments he made last week concerning his nominees to the high court, Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou said they were like shells of their former selves. Do you regret nominating them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah. Yeah. What can I do? I put them in. They voted against me too often. I was very \u2014 I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they vote against me often,\u201d the president began. \u201cThey vote for me, too. The Democrats stick like glue \u2014 those three, they virtually never vary. You can come up with the worst thing in the world and they\u2019ll vote as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd while I don\u2019t like it, there\u2019s something I admire about it: there\u2019s loyalty,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo they have loyalty to Barack Hussein Obama. They have loyalty to Biden, even though Biden doesn\u2019t even know who the hell they are. He wouldn\u2019t know. He doesn\u2019t even know what the Supreme Court is. And me, I gave them the chance of a lifetime, and it\u2019s unfortunate what they did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate what they did\u2014not to me, to our country. Birthright citizenship. It\u2019s becoming a major industry now,\u201d Trump added. \u201cPeople are making millions and millions of dollars, and we\u2019re losing trillions of dollars. And it\u2019s become a corrupt business, all because of the Supreme Court decision. That decision was for the babies of slaves. Look at where it was\u2014look at where it was approved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t for Chinese people, wealthy or unwealthy, coming, you know, pouring into our country. And this tariff decision again, all they had to do was a little clause saying any money paid does not have to be paid back \u2026 would have saved $400 billion,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey chose not to save that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The commander in chief was also asked if he wanted \u201cloyalty\u201d when it came to Supreme Court nominees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do like loyalty, yeah,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that what you want from your Supreme Court justices?\u201d the president was asked again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I don\u2019t want loyalty,\u201d he shot back. \u201cI want good decisions. The tariff decision was disastrous for the country. I want good decisions for the country \u2026 I put these people in. It is what it is. Very disappointing, very disappointing for the country \u2014 their decisions. And the country knows it. Very disappointing for the country. The other ones \u2014 they stick like glue. It\u2019s unbelievable, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump is correct in pointing out how conservative justices are more likely to cross ideological lines in major cases, while the court\u2019s three liberal judges, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Jackson Brown, tend to vote as a bloc.<\/p>\n<p>The president has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/2026\/01\/looking-back-at-2025-the-supreme-court-and-the-trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">benefited<\/a>, however, from the conservative supermajority, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/24pdf\/24a884_8n59.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struck down<\/a> nationwide injunctions from lower court judges, expanded the power of the presidency, and gave his administration wide latitude on deportations and immigration practices, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/2026\/06\/court-allows-trump-to-fire-ftc-commissioner-and-overturns-major-restraint-on-presidential-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">providing<\/a> Trump more power to fire federal employees.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, he\u2019s watched his own nominees provide critical votes that sank his tariff initiative, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/25pdf\/25-365_4hdj.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struck down<\/a> his birthright citizenship order, blocked an attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/cases\/watson-v-republican-national-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allowed<\/a> mail-in ballots to arrive days after an election.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the court ruled against the Trump administration for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/cases\/department-of-education-v-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">withholding<\/a> certain federal funds, terminating specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/cases\/national-institutes-of-health-v-american-public-health-association\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grants<\/a>, and attempting to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/cases\/trump-v-illinois\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federalize<\/a> the National Guard in Illinois.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
