Donald Trump expressed regret over his Supreme Court appointments after the court rejected tighter mail-in voting rules ahead of the midterm elections.

US President Donald Trump has expressed regret over his appointments to the US Supreme Court during an interview with Time magazine. Trump criticized the justices he appointed, stating, "I got them the job of their life, and they often vote against me." While acknowledging that he values loyalty, Trump later added that he does not expect it from his nominees.

The comments follow a legal setback for the Trump administration, after the Supreme Court rejected a bid to implement stricter rules on mail-in voting ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The court's decision provided relief to Democrats who had opposed the proposed voting restrictions.
