Trump turns on the Supreme Court he helped build

He appointed three justices to guarantee the outcomes, then acted stunned they read the law instead of his mind.

President Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court on Tuesday after it struck down the president's mail-in voting order Monday night. Why it matters: The president slammed the justices over rulings they've issued against him this year, suggesting without evidence that the three justices he appointed to the court are being controlled by the left. What they're saying: "These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "[T]hey are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won't be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal. "It is a Court that will go down as having rendered some of the most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country's history." "It is not easy for me to write this criticism of the United States Supreme Court - it will likely cost me dearly for years to come - but I feel it my obligation and duty, as President, to do so for the America we love!"
