Remember the “Freedom Kids,” the creepy kids group who sang Trump’s praises at rallies?
In perhaps the Trumpiest Trump story yet (via KagroX and Armando on Daily Kos Radio this morning.), Jeff Popick, Creator of the Freedom Kids, plans to sue the Trump Campaign for breach of contract:
It started in Pensacola. When Popick first reached out to the Trump campaign about performing, he spoke with various people including former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. His understanding from the campaign was that the Kids would make two appearances in Florida, where Popick lives. The first event didn't come to fruition, and Popick says he asked for $2,500 in payment for the second performance, in Pensacola. The campaign made a counter-offer: How about a table where the group could pre-sell albums? Popick took the deal.
When they arrived at the venue, though, there was no table, Popick says. The result was "complete chaos," he said. "They clearly had made no provisions for that."
You don’t have to be a “Freedom Kids” fan (and who here is, except extremely ironically) to sympathize with Mr. Popick (who is the father of the smallest Trump kid). As Philip Bump, the author of the piece in the Washington Post put it:
It's worth noting that Popick's story mirrors analysis of Trump's record in working with small business owners, some of whom allege that the Republican nominee failed to live up to financial and other commitments he'd made to them.
(Kind of cautious language.)
So Donald Trump screws both the large and small, adults and the kids, the horrifying and the petty.
If you're curious, the album will be out in early September. "Freedom's Call," which included the line "President Donald Trump knows how to make America great," will not be on it.
