One day after Perez defeated Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) to lead the DNC, Perez on Sunday attacked Trump, strongly criticizing him for his first several weeks in office.

"He hasn't proposed anything but chaos and carnage from day one," Perez said on NBC's "Meet The Press."

"We've seen no evidence of anything constructive from this president."

Perez, who served as Labor secretary in the Obama administration, then ticked off a number of policies Trump has implemented since assuming office.

Hours after he was sworn in as president, Trump "made it harder for first-time home buyers to buy a home," Perez said.

"A few days later, he tried to make it harder for people to save for retirement," he added.

Perez also said the president has "governed from the far right in everything he's done."

"Look at the ill-advised and frankly racist executive action against Muslims," he added, referring to the president's order barring refugees and people from seven predominately Muslim countries from entering the U.S.

Perez won the party chairman election Saturday on the second ballot during a vote in Atlanta.

His first motion as chairman was to appoint Ellison, his top rival for the post, as deputy chairman.

The election pitted Perez, the party’s establishment choice, against Ellison, who represented the more progressive faction of the Democrats.

After the DNC race Saturday, Trump tweeted his congratulations to Perez for his victory.

"Congratulations to Thomas Perez Thomas Edward PerezClinton’s top five vice presidential picks Government social programs: Triumph of hope over evidence Labor’s 'wasteful spending and mismanagement” at Workers’ Comp MORE, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC," the president tweeted.

"I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!"

In another tweet on Sunday, Trump claimed the race for the DNC chairman was "rigged."
