Remember that slightly unsettling display of “patriotism” at a Trump rally earlier this year? You know, the one where a trio of little girls dressed in red, white, and blue sang a catchy tune about the Republican candidate’s grand vision for America? Well, it seems that Donald Trump has added another group to his ever-growing list of people he’s let down by not honoring parts of their contract. Color us shocked.
According to reports, the USA Freedom Kids dance troupe is now suing Trump for breach of contract. They gained social media fame back in January after performing their song “Freedom’s Call” at a rally in Pensacola, Florida. However, their manager, Jake Thompson, claims the Trump campaign failed to deliver on their promise to let the girls sell CDs at the event and later canceled a planned performance in Florida after the kids had already made the trek from Iowa. “This is how they handled us,” he said. “They can only ignore us for so long.”
After initially threatening legal action back in July, Thompson hired attorney Sarah Mitchell and officially filed the lawsuit earlier this month. Once the campaign receives the suit, they’ll have 20 days to respond—though it’s unclear whether they’ve done so yet.
The lawsuit seeks between $5,000 and $15,000, which both Mitchell and Thompson believe is a reasonable request. “Some might see it as opportunistic, but that’s not the case,” Thompson stated. They hope to resolve the issue before it goes to trial, and Mitchell expresses confidence in their case against The Orange One.
It’s disheartening that news of Trump stiffing young performers won’t deter his die-hard supporters from casting their votes for him this fall. Even reports of his racist, misogynistic behavior haven’t swayed them, so what could? He’s looking out for number one, and anyone who thinks differently is, let’s be honest, a bit delusional.
As for that infectious jingle that initially brought them fame? The experience with Trump has left the girls so disillusioned that they now refuse to perform it. “It’s just a really sad situation,” says Thompson.
Debatable, but we sincerely hope Thompson and his group receive the compensation they are after. Because what’s truly “sad” is that among all the people Trump has let down, this time it includes a trio of innocent little girls. How classy.
