Trump blasts Supreme Court 'disaster' after justices rule against him on mail in voting

President Donald Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court on Tuesday after justices ruled against his administration on a major mail-in voting initiative.

"Republicans just got another bad decision from the United States Supreme Court , one that the Court System took forever to give, and then blamed it, in part, on no time left to implement a solution to our totally CORRUPT and out of control Mail-In voting 'disaster,' which is a laughing stock all over the World, and where we are the only country that has to endure such a Nation Destroying SCAM," Trump wrote.

The president went on to praise Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, who dissented from Monday's order.

Trump called the pair "legends." SUPREME COURT REJECTS TRUMP BID TO REVIVE STRICT MAIL-BALLOT RULES BEFORE MIDTERMS "It is a big loss for Republicans, and America itself, and makes cheating by the Radical Left 'Dumocrats,' on Mail-In Ballots, a much easier thing to do - And now they have an open field to do so!" Trump wrote.

Trump went on to list a series of cases where the Supreme Court has disappointed him, including its decision to strike down his tariff policies and void his executive order ending birthright citizenship .

TRUMP CRITICIZES 2 SUPREME COURT JUSTICES BY NAME OVER TARIFF RULING "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!" he wrote.

The Monday order rejected the Trump administration's request for a stay in the implementation of a universal injunction against new mail-in ballot rules from the U.S.

Postal Service.

The rules would require federal ballot mail to be sent in envelopes bearing an election-mail logo, capable of being scanned by high-speed equipment and carrying a barcode unique to each voter.

State and local election officials would also be required to submit envelope designs to the Postal Service for review and upload basic voter information to an online USPS portal.

USPS WOULDN'T DELIVER BALLOTS IN STATES THAT REFUSE TO FORK OVER MAIL-IN VOTER INFO UNDER PROPOSED RULE Under the USPS rule , mailings that failed to comply would not be accepted and would instead be returned to election officials to correct and resubmit.

The Court's Monday order went unsigned, but Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion that allowed room for a potential Trump victory down the line.

He nevertheless argued that it is too close to Election Day to realistically implement the rules for the 2026 midterm elections .
