US President Donald Trump has criticised the Supreme Court following its decision to block the US Postal Service from implementing a rule affecting mail-in ballots ahead of the November midterm elections.
Trump expressed his dissatisfaction in a social media post on Tuesday, accusing the Supreme Court of giving in to pressure from what he described as the political left.
The President argued that the court’s recent decisions had been detrimental to the United States, claiming that they had weakened the country and set it back by at least a century.
Trump also turned his criticism toward Supreme Court justices he appointed during his first and current terms, saying they had not lived up to the expectations he had when selecting them for the bench.
The comments came after the Supreme Court blocked the Postal Service from putting into effect the disputed rule concerning mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections.

The ruling comes amid an ongoing political debate in the United States over voting procedures, particularly the use of mail-in ballots.
Trump has repeatedly questioned aspects of the US electoral system and mail-in voting, while supporters of the practice maintain that it provides eligible voters with an additional means of participating in elections.
The Supreme Court’s decision adds to the broader dispute over election administration as officials and political leaders prepare for the November midterm elections.
Trump’s criticism also highlights tensions between the President and members of the Supreme Court, including justices he nominated, over decisions involving election rules and other contentious issues.
