That deserves the strongest possible criticism. Every time something like that happens he'll get it again.

The issue of Sally Yates (Acting Attorney General in place by Obama) being fired. According to Press Secretary Sean Spicer, there is still a number of Obama's team that are in vital Admin roles as they are still in final stages of transition. Sally Yates being a President Obama pick, who publicly defied Trump's Order. Spicer claimed the Executive Order went through her office for legality checks and it came back fine.
There could be internal elements at play here where they (Obama's old team) could be trying to sabotage processes as a form of protest, we have already seen reports the Democrats boycotting confirmation hearings and not attending sessions where votes are required to confirm Trump's cabinet picks, is why the GOP have changed the rules on required voting numbers in last day or so because they are fed up of the delayed tactics being played out by the Dems.
You have to look at it from this angle, Democrats have lost the White House, and they have no standing in both chambers of Congress. All they have left is to protest.
