Trump attacks Supreme Court after ballot ruling

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump criticized the US Supreme Court after the top court refused to allow the US Postal Service to enforce a rule concerning mail-in ballots ahead of the November midterm elections. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused the justices he appointed of being influenced by Democrats and of repeatedly siding against policies supported by his administration.

He claimed the Supreme Court, currently with a 6-3 conservative majority, had "set America back" and described the court's decision as damaging. Trump also criticized the court over other rulings affecting his administration's policies, including global tariffs and efforts to restrict birthright citizenship. He accused the court of causing "incalculable" damage to the country and stated that he felt it was his duty to speak out against the court, despite the potential cost.
