The creator of the viral pro-Trump act ‘USA Freedom Kids’ now plans to sue the campaign

That infectious performance kicked off a flurry of media appearances. The Freedom Kids told "Inside Edition" that Trump told them that he planned to listen to their CD all night. The group, which had been around for about 2½ years by that point, was a viral sensation largely inextricable from Trump himself.

Now, though, the relationship is different. Jeff Popick, father of the smallest Freedom Kid and author of "Freedom's Call" (the song performed at the Trump rally), told The Washington Post by phone on Monday that he planned to file a lawsuit against the campaign for violating its agreement with the group.

"This is not a billion-dollar lawsuit," Popick said. "I'm doing this because I think they have to do the right thing. And if this means having to go through the court system to enforce them doing the right thing, then that's what I have to do. I'm not looking to do battle with the Trump campaign, but I have to show my girls that this is the right thing."

Popick is quick to explain that the agreement was not written down, but, instead, involves promises from various agents of the Trump campaign which he says were then broken.

2. Lemme guess:

For non-payment?

[sakabatou]

12. Yep

[forest444]

13. Well, hell's bells.

I must be psychic.

3. Wanna bet

that this buffoon will still vote Trump?

[Libby2]

10. Yes,

I was thinking the same thing.

[DinahMoeHum]

4. Lesson learned: CASH. UP. FRONT. . . .

. . .when doing business with TrumpleThinSkin.

[BLACK4EVER]

5. I hope the lesson was learned

A verbal contract is a good as the paper it's written on. Mr Popick allowed himself and the group to be "conned" by the Donald ... Mr. tRump used the group for photo ops and then discard them without paying them. Typical tRump behavior, but a snake is a snake is a snake.

11. Contract, schmontract

Screw verbal contracts, to Trump not even written contracts mean anything. How many stories are there where Trump has refused to make full payment to some small business which had a written contract with him?

[BLACK4EVER]

14. You're right

Mr Popick should save his time and money in a lawsuit he can't win. I feel sorry for the Freedom Kids but not Popick I read he's still voting for tRump. You can't fix stupid

6. In article it says ...

" told The Washington Post by phone on Monday that he planned to file a lawsuit against the campaign

so lawsuit is planned ...... okay when will articles come out to say they have been filed ? More media perhaps ? Sorry I am cynical ..... Of course the guy will vote for T , he has read all his books looks to T as a celebrity . There is a plug at the end of article that album will be out early Sept ............. Payment paid in full due to exposure ?....... Does not make it right but that seems part of DT scheme so he does not pay ............

7. This Popick fellow is an idiot in many more ways than one.

These girls are way too young to understand what true freedom is.

Popick should be arrested for child exploitation.

LOCK HIM UP!

[LS_Editor]

8. These kids are Trump Youth.

Ugh.

[Angry Dragon]

9. Just another broken contract by the T-rump

[uhnope]

15. he just wants to teach his kids that....daddy's an idiot

Popick is quick to explain that the agreement was not written down,

[Nihil]

16. "Man who pimped his daughters to his political hero is now looking for more publicity."

There are some arguments on which there simply isn't a side to support.

[Odin2005]

17. The way the kids in that pic are dolled up is creepy and pedo-ish.

Reminds me of those child beauty pageants...
