Trump says he regrets 3 of his Supreme Court nominations

President Trump.

President Trump said in an interview with Time magazine that he regrets three of the Supreme Court justice nominations he made because they have "voted against me too often."

Trump's comments came in a wide-ranging interview published on Thursday. He was asked about a negative remark he'd made recently about justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, three justices he nominated during his first term. 

"Yeah. Yeah. What can I do? I put them in," Trump replied. "They voted against me too often. I was very -- I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they vote against me often. They vote for me, too," Trump acknowledged.

"The Democrats stick like glue -- those three, they virtually never vary. You can come up with the worst thing in the world and they’ll vote as a group. And while I don't like it, there's something I admire about it: there's loyalty. So they have loyalty to Barack Hussein Obama. They have loyalty to Biden, even though Biden doesn't even know who the hell they are. He wouldn't know. He doesn't even know what the Supreme Court is. And me, I gave them the chance of a lifetime, and it's unfortunate what they did."

Trump suggested the ruling that irked him most was the high court's decision to strike down his executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. "It’s unfortunate what they did -- not to me, to our country. Birthright citizenship. It's becoming a major industry now. People are making millions and millions of dollars, and we're losing trillions of dollars. And it's become a corrupt business, all because of the Supreme Court decision," Trump said. 

He also expressed frustration at the Supreme Court rolling back the sweeping tariffs he enacted on other countries. When asked whether he expected loyalty from justices he nominated, Trump replied, "I do like loyalty," but when pressed about whether he wants loyalty from them, he said, "No, I don't want loyalty. I want good decisions. The tariff decision was disastrous for the country. I want good decisions for the country."

Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett succeeded Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, respectively.
