Justice Amy Coney Barrett has Trump privately raging for breaking ranks [View all]

President Donald Trump is reportedly livid that some of his hand-picked Supreme Court justices aren’t falling in line—especially Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who has emerged as a recurring target of his behind-the-scenes rage.

According to CNN, Trump’s private grumbling about Barrett has dragged on for nearly a year. The complaints are wide-ranging, but his fixation on Barrett has intensified, fueled by right-wing allies saying that she’s “weak” and has drifted from the hardline persona she projected during her confirmation.

Trump has also groused about Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, who were also confirmed during his first term. But Barrett’s perceived disloyalty hits differently. In Trumpworld, deviation is betrayal.

The discontent follows a string of rulings where Barrett didn’t deliver for the far right. In March, she and Chief Justice John Roberts voted to reject Trump’s demand to freeze nearly $2 billion in foreign aid. The blowback from MAGA loyalists was instant, with some calling her a “DEI hire” and “evil.”
