Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen blamed Trump for his own record disapproval.

“When you send off a 4-year-old child with Stage 4 metastatic cancer with no medication, no anything, … it’s wrong. It’s cruel, it’s unamerican, and that’s why his poll numbers suck,” said Cohen on the Jim Acosta show.

Three young children who are U.S. citizens - including one with cancer - were deported to Honduras alongside their mothers last week, according to advocacy groups and family lawyers. A lawyer also confirmed that one of the children was a four-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was sent without medication.

Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan told reporters the mothers, who were in the U.S. illegally, had made the choice for their citizen children to be removed with them.

"Having a US citizen child does not make you immune from our laws," said Homan.

Nevertheless, ABC News reports Trump has the “lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years,” with public push back on many of his policies, beginning with broad fears of a recession.” Approval ratings also reflect the public’s discontent with his immigration policy.

Cohen called Trump’s massive roundups and deportations “the sort of s--t that dictators and supreme leaders and monarchs and kings and despots and autocrats do.”

“MAGA morons are governing America,” said Cohen. “… Only a moron would do something like this: … You don’t show up at a nightclub in Colorado and then just start grabbing everybody, young women in dresses, guys wearing suits.”

Cohen noted also that “everybody now is somehow MS-13,” according to the administration. “I didn’t know MS-13 was so big. It’s like every single person they’re grabbing now is MS-13.”

Trump reacted to the poll numbers by demanded pollsters be investigated for “ELECTON FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it.”

“How dangerous it when you call the press the enemy of the state. That is so right out of the authoritarian playbook,” Cohen said.
