US President Donald Trump says US Supreme Court justices should be “loyal” on key cases, arguing that it is acceptable for them to be loyal to the president who appointed them, as long as they also “do the right thing.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump points to two Supreme Court judges he appointed during his first term—Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett—and criticises recent decisions he says went against his policy positions. He cites their participation in the court’s ruling against his tariff approach, calling it a “devastating move.” Trump also links his “loyalty” message to his executive order banning birthright citizenship, indicating he wants future court outcomes to align with that measure. Across reports, the comments are presented as part of Trump’s broader dispute with the Supreme Court over rulings affecting his executive and trade policy. The statements focus on the role of judicial appointments and the expected alignment of justices with the president who selected them, while repeating that courts should still reach correct outcomes.
