Trump appointed the same justices any Republican would have appointed. Pretty much any Republican who went to law school after the 1980s opposes Roe on principle. The idea that the Supreme Court can’t just make up new rights is something that united legal conservatives, fiscal conservatives, and social conservatives.
Six week abortion bans are a different matter, both legally and practically. That’s where Trump (and many other business-oriented conservatives depart from the religious conservatives). There’s a reason the Mississippi test case in Dobbs was a 15-week ban with exceptions.

> his three court picks
Court picks aren't political hacks. Trump elected fantastic SC judges all conservative, recommended by key Conservative and Libertarian think tanks and their judgement is very much rooted in principles. Congress should consider making abortion the rights.
I do not like the judgement either but I think it was a very good judgement perfectly in alignment with the US constitution and law.
Arguing this when it was his three court picks that removed the fifty year old right to an abortion in this country is just a bizarre assertion. Whatever his words, personal positions on the issue (I don't doubt he's paid for a few), etc., he's been the single most effective for anti-abortion folks since Roe v. Wade.
