He contrasted his appointees with the court’s liberal wing (Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson), praising what he described as their consistency:

• He argued that the liberal justices “stick like glue” and vote as a unified bloc, claiming they show loyalty to Democratic presidents like Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

• When pressed on whether he expects personal loyalty from judicial nominees, Trump offered conflicting thoughts, initially acknowledging an appreciation for loyalty before clarifying: “No, I don’t want loyalty. I want good decisions… The tariff decision was disastrous for the country. I want good decisions for the country.”
