I wonder what
these girls think.
You shouldn't be surprised, but they aren't huge fans of Donald Trump anymore.

The pre-teen dance troupe that briefly became a national sensation after they performed for Donald Trump are suing the self-proclaimed billionaire’s presidential campaign for stiffing them.
The USA Freedom Kids went viral after performing at Trump’s Jan. 13 rally in Pensacola, Florida. Dressed in bedazzled American flag costumes, the three pre-teen girls performed “Freedom’s Call,” an upbeat reimagining of a
World War I propaganda song. “Cowardice! Are you serious? / Apologies for freedom, I can’t handle this,” the song begins.
The USA Freedom Kids said in a
newly filed lawsuit the Trump campaign broke verbal agreements for performances at two events and refused to pay even a $2,500 stipend for the group’s travel expenses.
“We are not able to pay the girls or cover travel,” Stephanie Scruggs, a regional field director wrote Jeff Popick, USA Freedom Kids founder and father to one of the girls in a Jan. 5 email presented as evidence in the suit. “However we have coordinated with the event space to allow the girls to set up a table and pre-sell their album, shirts, ect if this is helpful to you.” (The Trump campaign did not return a Daily Beast request for comment.)
Popick agreed, reasoning that the group could net more than $2,500 in merchandise sales, but the
rally was “chaos,” Popick told The Daily Beast.
There was no merchandise table, and it wouldn’t have mattered if there was one: Security didn’t allow the girls to bring any of their merchandise into the Pensacola Bay Center. They left it outside in the parking lot, where all of it—the
T-shirts, the CDs, the patriotic posters—was stolen while the girls performed their act, Popick says.
Not a huge fan of this act, but they are just kids. They don't need to be squashed by Trump, but I'm sure not paying their travel for these child mascots is just "business" like not paying all the other people in his business relationships. There really is no limit to how low he goes.
