Dolly Parton remained apolitical, but she did make a few comments about Trump over the years.
Country music legend Dolly Parton, who passed away at the age of 80, received praise from former President Donald Trump for her influence and charitable work. Despite her general avoidance of politics, Parton expressed her views on a few occasions, earning her admiration from both Republicans and Democrats. Trump described her as an American cultural icon, and his administration offered her the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice, which she declined due to personal circumstances.
