“Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will,” he wrote.
President Trump Ordered Flags Lowered in Honor of Dolly Parton.
“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. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he wrote.
Many people appreciated President Trump taking steps to honor Dolly Parton.
“First time I have ever agreed with this man. That’s the effect Dolly had on the world. She was a national treasure,” someone wrote.
“Dolly Parton was a true national treasure who embodied the absolute best of the American dream: coming from humble beginnings, working relentlessly with grit and determination, and building an extraordinary legacy. Once she achieved success, she dedicated her life to paying it forward, giving back to those less fortunate so others could rise alongside her. Above all, she loved and accepted everyone unconditionally, living by her own rules! She treated people the way that she wanted to be treated and America loved her endlessly for it,” another person added.
“More than a singer…….she was an icon for her philanthropy especially to the people of TN. She never forgot where she came from and gave back so much to ‘her people.’ She was truly our Queen of Tennessee!” Another fan shared.
