The President-elect can rest easy — another legal battle has been averted.
The singing group USA Freedom Kids has dropped its lawsuit against Donald Trump's campaign, according to our colleagues at the Naples Daily News.
This may all sound familiar, like a flashback to some fever dream. Nearly a year ago, three little girls in red, white and blue cheerleader costumes took the stage at a Florida rally for Trump and stunned the world with their performance of "Freedom's Call" — "deal from strength or get crushed every time."
Videos of the routine went viral, and all seemed golden for the Kids, but the road quickly turned rocky. In August, the group filed suit against the Trump campaign, alleging they had been denied promised appearances at future rallies and the ability to sell their merchandise. But the group has apparently had a change of heart since Trump won the White House.

USA Freedom Kids Sues Trump
The USA Freedom Kids, a young musical group known for their upbeat performances at Trump rallies, has stirred headlines once again by officially suing Donald Trump's campaign. This follows their initial rise to fame when they performed "Freedom's Call" at a rally in Pensacola, Florida, which gained viral attention and was emblematic of the campaign's unique, albeit controversial, atmosphere at the time.
Initially, the USA Freedom Kids enjoyed a promising relationship with the Trump campaign, but as the initial excitement faded, allegations of broken promises surfaced. Jeff Popick, the group's manager, stated that the Trump campaign failed to uphold verbal agreements on two occasions and did not reimburse the group for travel expenses. Notably, they were promised a chance to sell merchandise at a rally, but access was denied, and their merchandise was reportedly stolen after being left behind in a car.
The lawsuit demands damages of up to $15,000, reflecting the financial strain and disappointment faced by the group. As the political climate has evolved since the 2016 elections, this lawsuit also highlights the shifting dynamics between celebrity figures and their supporters.
As we look back on the USA Freedom Kids' entry into the political spectacle, it’s crucial to consider the broader implications of how campaigns engage with youth groups and the expectations these parties set. With the 2024 elections approaching, it’s an interesting twist in a narrative that many might have thought concluded.
