Trump Critiques Supreme Court Over Mail-Ballot Ruling

On September 16, 2026, US President Donald Trump publicly criticized the Supreme Court following its decision to block the US Postal Service from implementing a rule related to mail-in ballots for the upcoming November midterm elections. In a social media post, Trump accused the Supreme Court of succumbing to pressure from the political left and argued that the court's recent rulings have been harmful to the United States, claiming they have set the country back by at least a century.

He also expressed dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court justices he appointed during his first and current terms, stating they had not lived up to his expectations. This criticism follows the court's ruling amid ongoing debates over voting procedures, particularly concerning mail-in voting, which Trump has repeatedly questioned.

The Supreme Court's decision adds to the ongoing disputes surrounding election administration as preparations for the midterm elections continue.
