Donald Trump Pays Tribute To Dolly Parton, Says He’s Lowering U.S. Flags To Honor Entertainer
Donald Trump paid tribute to Dolly Parton shortly after her death was announced, indicating that he planned to order U.S. flags lowered to half staff to honor the entertainer. Trump posted on Truth Social, “Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. […]
President Donald Trump has decreed that all American flags across the nation should be flown at half-staff for a week in tribute to the late Dolly Parton, the celebrated country singer. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump expressed his deep sorrow over Parton's passing, stating, "This is a true loss for millions of people.
There has never been anyone like her, and never will." He went on to say, "In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM. Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you."
Trump had previously extended his offer to award Parton with the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom twice, but she turned down both offers. She also politely declined the same honor from President Joe Biden earlier. Parton's peers and admirers have been paying their respects, lauding her as "a true gift to humanity and the very best of us."
