Donald Trump called John Roberts "disgraceful" and "disappointing" in 2015 .

A little more than a year later, Roberts swore in Trump as president.

The dynamic between the two has remained complicated, marked by dramatic legal wins for Trump as well as painful losses.

For Roberts , who is deeply conservative but also concerned about the institutional credibility of the Supreme Court , chastising Trump puts him in a difficult spot.

The chief justice joined liberal justices to block Trump 's plan to add a citizenship question to the national census questionnaire.

In 2020 , Roberts wrote a ruling that let a New York prosecutor obtain Trump 's financial records.

"These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives ," Trump wrote on social media.
