“"The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win," he said.”
CORROBORATED
Two independent web search results report similar sentiments. One source states Trump 'exposing the uncomfortable reality that Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices consistently abandon conservative principles while Democrat justices march in,' and another source discusses the idea that 'the six conservative justices might not stick together.' This corroborates the core claim that Trump criticized the alignment of Republican justices.
