The American people feel shame because of US President Donald Trump’s order to split children of migrants from their families, says a commentator.

“Most Americans do not approve of that policy of separating children from their parents” and “it’s shaming a lot of people” in the United States, Jakob Musick told Press TV on Saturday.

“This issue has contributed quite majorly to a re-decline in people’s confidence in the leadership,” the host of the Voice of the Revolution Radio said.

The US president’s approval rating has sunk about 38 or 39 percent, Musick noted.

Trump faces mounting public pressure over his “zero tolerance” policy of splitting migrant families and sending children to detention centers.
