In a turn of events that many might find unsurprising, a group of young dancers known as the Freedom Stars is now embroiled in a legal battle with Donald Trump over a breach of contract. You may recall the somewhat unsettling display of “patriotism” at a Trump rally earlier this year, where these children donned red, white, and blue outfits and performed a number celebrating the former president’s aspirations for the nation. Unfortunately, it appears that Trump has added this group to his ever-expanding list of individuals he’s let down.
According to reports, the Freedom Stars, who gained notoriety after their performance of “Liberty’s Anthem” at a rally in Florida, are seeking damages in a lawsuit against Trump for failing to uphold their agreement. Their manager, Mark Johnson, expressed frustration over the Trump campaign’s unfulfilled promise to provide a space for the children to sell merchandise at the event. Additionally, a planned performance in Florida was abruptly canceled despite the group having traveled from another state. “This is how they treated us,” Johnson remarked. “They can only ignore us for so long.”
After initially contemplating legal action last summer, Johnson enlisted attorney Lisa Green and officially filed the lawsuit earlier this month. Once the campaign receives the suit, they will have 20 days to respond, although it’s unclear if that has occurred yet. The lawsuit seeks damages between $5,000 and $15,000, a figure both Johnson and Green argue is a fair request. “Some might see this as opportunistic, but that’s not the case,” said Johnson. They hope to resolve the matter outside of court, while Green remains optimistic about their chances against the former president.
Despite the troubling news that Trump has neglected to compensate these young performers, it’s unlikely to deter his dedicated supporters from casting their votes this fall. Even revelations concerning his controversial statements and behavior haven’t swayed their loyalty, illustrating that his focus remains firmly on self-interest.
As for the catchy jingle that brought the Freedom Stars into the spotlight? The experience has left them so disillusioned that they now refuse to perform it. “It’s just a really unfortunate situation,” Johnson lamented.
While we all hope that Johnson and his group receive the compensation they deserve, the reality is disheartening: yet another group of innocent children has found themselves let down by Trump.
