US President Donald Trump voiced regret over his Supreme Court judicial appointments following a legal defeat regarding mail-in voting rules.

US President Donald Trump expressed regret over his appointments to the US Supreme Court during an interview with Time magazine, remarking, "I got them the job of their life, and they often vote against me." Trump noted that while he values loyalty, he does not expect it from his judicial nominees.

The statements follow a major legal setback for his administration ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The Supreme Court recently rejected an attempt by the government to impose stricter regulations on mail-in voting. The court's ruling prevented the immediate implementation of the restrictions, drawing relief from Democratic lawmakers who had opposed the changes.
