Trump says Supreme Court has ‘really let our Country down’ over mail ballots

US President Donald Trump harshly criticized the Supreme Court on September 16, alleging the justices had "let our Country down" after blocking his plan to restrict mail-in ballots. Trump accused the court of yielding to Democrats following the ruling, which presents a setback to Republican aspirations of retaining Senate control in November's midterm elections.
Trump, who appointed three Supreme Court justices—Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch—in his first term, now claims they are "merely a shell of their original selves." The court's decision, which Trump deems "horrible" and "highly political," comes amid high political stakes ahead of the November 3 elections. Democrats hailed the ruling, arguing that Trump's mail-in voting plan was "un-American" and "flagrantly unconstitutional."
Despite the criticism, Trump continues to endorse mail-in voting, citing fairness concerns and falsely attributing his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden to alleged voter fraud.
