Donald Trump: Florida rally warm-up act featuring young girls dancing labelled 'sickening'

Donald Trump's opening act at his Florida rally, featuring dancing young girls, has been compared to North Korean propaganda and branded "sickening".

The "USA Freedom Kids", a trio dressed in American-flag dresses, performed a song and dance routine to support Mr Trump's presidential bid.

The song addressed key themes Mr Trump has discussed during his often controversial campaign.

Lyrics include: "When freedom rings / Answer the call / On your feet / Stand up tall / Freedom’s on our shoulders / USA!".

They also reference Mr Trump's foreign policy: "Enemies of freedom / Face the music / Come on, boys - take ‘em down / President Donald Trump knows how / To make America great / Deal from strength or get crushed every time."

When POLITICO shared the video on Facebook, one commentor, Rob Lane, wrote: "This feels more like something I'd expect from North Korea... sickening."

Another, Ashley Abedini, wrote: "It is so adorable how these cute kids are dancing to promote a racist / homophobic / warmonger. Warms your heart really."

On Monday 18 January, MPs will debate for three hours on whether to ban Donald Trump from the UK.

More than 570,000 people signed a petition demanding a debate in Parliament.
