President Donald Trump said he regrets nominating Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh during his first term in office.

During an interview with Time, he was asked about comments he made about the three justices not being the people he interviewed. “You said they were like shells of their former selves,” the reporter asked. “Do you regret nominating them?”

“What can I do?” the president said. “I put them in. 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 continued, saying the left-leaning justices “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 continued, criticizing the justices over their rulings.

“It’s unfortunate what they did—not to me, to our country,” he said. “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.”

The interviewer asked whether Trump wanted loyalty from his Supreme Court appointments.

“I do like loyalty, yeah,” he replied.

But he continued, saying he didn’t want loyalty from Supreme Court justices. “I want good decisions. The tariff decision was disastrous for the country. I want good decisions for the country,” Trump said.

The three justices ruled against parts of Trump’s agenda in several major cases this year. In February, the Supreme Court held 6-3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose tariffs. 

Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett joined those voting against the tariffs. Brett Kavanaugh. 

In June, the court struck down Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally or on temporary visas.
