This article is a non-exhaustive list of U.S. President Donald Trump's achievements related to appointing conservative judges and thus influencing court decisions.
President Trump faced a great opportunity – though not one easily realized – to appoint conservative judges for the over 100 vacancies that existed at the beginning of his term. In addition, changes in the Senate confirmation process in the 2013 and 2017 made it significantly easier to confirm conservative judges to the federal courts. Trump nominated conservative judges to court positions, and was more consistent than any modern president in nominating conservatives and originalists to the judiciary. He had a very successful year in 2017 in nominating and confirming conservative federal judges.
