MAGA backlash over Supreme Court rulings against Trump

Jun 30, 2026

A wave of Supreme Court rulings went against Trump, a bad day for the White House and a sign his power is fading as he grows less popular.

  • The court let Trump fire the head of the FTC, handing the president sweeping power to remove officials at most independent agencies.
  • But it carved out one exception: the Federal Reserve. Trump's firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook was blocked because she wasn't given a chance to respond — Wall Street's grip on the Fed stays protected.
  • In a 5-4 ruling, the court said states can count mail-in ballots that arrive after election day if postmarked in time, a loss Trump and allies are using to push a national voting law.
  • MAGA figures like Steve Bannon are furious at Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote the ballot opinion, calling her a traitor to the cause.
  • The court also refused to hear Trump's appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case, leaving him on the hook for tens of millions in damages.

Outlook: A birthright citizenship ruling is expected soon and is widely predicted to go against Trump too, likely deepening the right's anger at the court.
