President Trump took to Twitter on Monday morning to scorn Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), who called his flurry of executive actions over the weekend unconstitutional slop.
Shortly after the President signed the executive actions during a press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey on Saturday which came on the heels of Democrats and the White House failing to reach a deal on a new COVID-19 relief package Sasse tore into Trumps move in a statement by characterizing the actions as unconstitutional slop.
In his statement on Saturday, Sasse wrote that former President Barack Obama did not have the authority to unilaterally rewrite immigration law with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The Nebraska senator then argued that Trump therefore does not have the power to unilaterally rewrite the payroll tax law.
Under the Constitution, that power belongs to the American people acting through their members of Congress, Sasse said in his statement on Saturday, joining the chorus criticism from both Democrats and some Republicans over whether the President demonstrated executive overreach with his actions.

So, he can criticize safely because the word "slop" actually fits!
