Three young girls dressed in American-flag cheerleader gear stole the Donald Trump show Wednesday at a rally for the GOP front-runner in Pensacola, Florida.
“Enemies of freedom, face the music,” they sang. “C’mon boys, take ’em down!”
“President Donald Trump knows how to make America great. Deal from strength or get crushed every time.”
Multiple videos of the act, seen by at least 2 million people, inspired the hashtag #Ameritude.
“While there are several candidates who could begin to turn around the Obama debacle, we think there may be no one better than President Donald Trump to answer ‘Freedom’s Call,’” Jeff Popick, the group’s manager, said. “Trump has a pattern of success that is remarkable, and a methodology for winning that is second to none, and ‘Freedom’s Call’ is a really fun song, with great musicality that inspires freedom.”
Others were inspired to be more critical, or make a cover:
Unsurprisingly, American fascism is kind of tacky https://t.co/LNYyPSYUMZ #Ameritude

“Inspire proudly freedom to the world?” Did Sarah Palin write the @realDonaldTrump campaign song? #Ameritude

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like a mix of Over There and the Shawn the Sheep theme? #ameritude pic.twitter.com/pWS2xsII7v

I’m saying this a lot about the Trump campaign, but I’m getting more North Korea vibes from these girls: https://t.co/cjt97UFSZM? #ameritude
