"President Trump ought to realise, he's not campaigning anymore. He's president," Senator Charles Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader, told ABC News.
"Instead of talking about how many people showed up at his inauguration, he ought to be talking about how many people are going to stay into the middle class and move into the middle class," he said.
Schumer alleged that Trump in his inauguration speech talked only to his supporters and not the entire country.
"The other thing that bothered me about the speech, as much as sort of the narrowness of it and the darkness of America that he portrayed was this. I think he's trying to use populist rhetoric to cover up a right- wing agenda," he said.
"If you look at this cabinet, they are far from the populism that he talked about," he noted.
