President Trump has weighed in on the legendary Dolly Parton’s death, which was revealed earlier today.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra Macdonald reported, Parton has passed away at age 80.
Her passing was announced on her Instagram account in a video by her nephew, Brian Seaver, on behalf of the Parton family.
“My name is Brian Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I’m representing the Parton and Owens family today, announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis, and Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next,” Seaver began.
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it until now.”
Seaver continued, “It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed to meet her in the heavens.”
A cause of death was not released, but it is known that Parton had been struggling with health issues.
Just a short time ago, Trump weighed in with this touching response to Parton’s death.
“Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will.”
“In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one-week period beginning tonight at 6:00 PM,” he added.
“Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you.”
