Trump criticizes US Supreme Court decision after defeat on mail voting: 'Horrible and highly political'

oglobo15 September 2026 at 18:51

Trump criticized the US Supreme Court decision that blocked his administration's efforts to change mail voting rules. On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected a Trump executive order related to these restrictions on mail-in voting.

The American president made harsh criticisms of the three justices he himself appointed during his first term: Amy Coney Barrett, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Neil M. Gorsuch. On social media, Trump wrote that "these are not the people I interviewed to serve on the US Supreme Court."

Trump said the three justices are "just a shadow of what they originally were" and accused the court of causing harm to the USA. He said the Supreme Court is "costing the USA trillions of dollars with shockingly bad decisions."

The president also warned that the consequences of these decisions would be severe for the country, saying "it will not be easy for our country to recover or heal."

Why this matters

The Supreme Court decision represents a significant defeat for Trump on a central theme for American elections, and the public rupture with the justices he himself appointed demonstrates the tensions between the executive and judicial branches. For readers, this signals that legal battles over electoral rules should continue, especially in states that depend heavily on mail-in voting.
