It's not surprising that Trump's campaign would do something like this, it is exactly right up Trump's alley to make promises he can't keep, to violate an agreement that he's made. We saw that with his Fake University, his realty scam in Mexico and they way he fleeced hard workers who did some work for him and didn't get paid.

Now he's taking advantage of this group of young girls...having them perform (however badly) at his rally and then skipping out on paying them what was agreed on. Then, asking them to perform at another rally only to cancel them out after they had spend money on travel, hotel, and other essentials. What a jerk.

This is the kind of man many on this forum think should be our leader.....:badgrin:


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.

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 presell 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."


When Trump made the sudden decision to skip the January Fox News debate and instead hold an event for veterans, a representative of the campaign called Popick to see if the Freedom Kids might perform. The call came the day before the event, Popick says, which was being held in Des Moines at 6:30 p.m. With the promise that the exposure from the event would be "huge," Popick readily agreed, and the kids and their parents packed up for a direct flight to Chicago and a long drive to Iowa.

It wasn't to be. When the plane landed, Popick had a message from the campaign staffer indicating that there was a change of plan. ......The cost of the flights, rental car and hotel were all absorbed by Popick.

After that, he kept reaching out "again and again and again and again," without luck. He was passed around between staffers; calls went unreturned even after calls were promised. ........."We are now asking and DEMANDING for what has been promised to us and is now long-overdue (and has been rightly earned by us); that is, a performance at the convention," an email dated July 9 reads. "Or, be made whole."


"These are guys that insist they're straight shooters," Popick said,......

Trump is a crook who surrounds himself with other crooks. He calls his opponents liars and crooks in an attempt to deflect away from his own lying and fraud, but he is by far the biggest liar and crook of the 2016 Presidential campaign. His lies and fraud are epic.

Trump is the one with pending court trials for fraud. All you have on Clinton is propagandized trash talk. She ain't the one with the pending court case for thievery, Little Donnie is.

The head of the fbi said because of her incompetence, more than likely our enemies got top secret information. That's what you call presidential material.

As usual, unable to defend Trump, the deflection goes to trash talking Clinton with partisan propaganda talking points.

Of course he does.

After all he trusts in FDR. That tells one and all what a complete and utter fool he is.
 
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll! :p

"...I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll

Hotel motel
Make you want to cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band"
....etc.

 
Don't think THIS one will be "debunked". It kinda sucks. And it smells of using people and discarding them..
Never should have reached the level of a contemplated law suit.

That's his ideology, always was & always will be. Hell, it was in his "University" playbook as well.

A sales script in the playbooks offers this sample conversation the Trump University sales rep might have with a prospective student: "We teach the technique of using OPM ... other people’s money.

Yeah, because you are probably a deadbeat yourself. Only deadbeats defend another deadbeat.
