Trump expresses regret over Supreme Court appointments following legal defeat

US President Donald Trump revealed in an interview with Time magazine that he regrets his appointments to the Supreme Court, stating, "I got them the job of their life, and they often vote against me." While Trump acknowledged that he values loyalty, he subsequently clarified that he does not expect it from judicial nominees.

The remarks follow a decision by the Supreme Court rejecting an attempt by the Trump administration to implement stricter mail-in voting regulations prior to the upcoming midterm elections. Democratic lawmakers welcomed the ruling as a key protection for voting accessibility.

In related cabinet developments, Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth proposed enlisting billionaire Elon Musk to examine the "future of warfare."
