Trump regrets Supreme Court appointments following voting rule defeat

US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Time magazine that he regrets his Supreme Court judicial appointments, noting that the justices "often vote against me" despite receiving "the job of their life." While Trump initially emphasized that he values loyalty, he subsequently stated that he does not expect it from judicial nominees.

The comments follow a decision by the US Supreme Court rejecting efforts by the administration to impose stricter regulations on mail-in voting ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Democratic lawmakers expressed relief over the ruling, viewing it as a protection for voting access.

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