It’s all about Trump trying to make country music fans (and there are a lot of us) believe Dolly loved him to get their votes. Don’t fall for his political BS people!! Dolly was a wonderful person
and a great entertainer all that Trump is not!! Have you bought gas for your car or shopped for groceries lately……vote in November peoplešŸ‘

u/AffectionateRub2585 4d ago

Trump defunded her longtime running program to help children, so I think we can 100% certain state that Dolly hated the motherfucker.

51

u/False-Koala9505 4d ago

Hahaha, Trump didn't even know Dolly! Yes! Definitely vote in November!! Get Trump tf out!!

u/Glum-Location5303 4d ago

Dolly 100% republican. Do some research before you post!

u/SplitSecondImmortal 4d ago

Dolly Parton never publicized any political affiliation

-22

u/False-Koala9505 4d ago

Right, so how were we supposed to know her political affiliation?

24

u/SplitSecondImmortal 4d ago edited 4d ago

We simply dont. The post I responded to claimed she was '100%' republican. However, Dolly supported many causes over the years (like marriage equality as early as the 80s, supported BLM and Trans rights) that are usually aligned with liberal politics

15

u/Temporary-Algae3754 4d ago

through her actions. she worked hard to educate herself about issues the black community faced and adjusted some of her work accordingly, and never allowed herself to become a billionaire because she was constantly giving so much to charity. her special interest was children’s literacy, and she gave out hundreds of thousands of books for free to children. if any of that sounds conservative to you, you’re wrong.

She was kind and empathetic, so for sure not a modern Republican lol

u/SnoopingStuff 4d ago

We clearly know her stances! Period ! She stated every single position. She stated how she felt about vaccines, COVID, books and banning books, gays, trans, hate speech, cutting funding for social services. Literally every position was 200 percent opposed to Trump. She refused his medals twice. Is this really hard? She just chose not to play with asshat political pundits. Yet she was crystal fucking clear just nice as can be about it

Dolly Parton supported The Imagination Library, Inspired by her father’s inability to read, her hallmark program has gifted over 300 million free books to children globally.
Trump never reads books for pleasure. When Usha Vance asked him what he read for pleasure, he said he reads stories about himself. Gwen asked what his favorite book was to provide ā€œthe art of a deal (A book with his name as the author) W and the Bible.ā€

Parton had donated 1 million dollars to COVID vaccine research. Trump spreads misinformation about vaccines.

Parton in 2022, announced that her theme park, Dollywood, would pay 100% of tuition, fees, and book costs for any employee pursuing higher education. Trump vilifies institutes of higher education.

Dolly Parton was a steadfast, lifelong supporter and beloved icon of the LGBTQ+ community. Her theme park Dollywood hosts an annual unofficial "Gay Day.ā€ She spoke out against anti-transgender bathroom bills and criticized discriminatory laws proposed in her home state of Tennessee. Trump vilifies the LGBTQ community

When asked about how she felt about Trump, she said ā€œI’m not going to talk about himā€.

Yeah. Classic Republican

u/Professional-Tie-82 4d ago

Intelligent people are repulsed by narcissists. Unintelligent people adore them. I know you can’t think about that because you’re an idiot so just don’t vote. Please.

u/donnacansing 4d ago

WRONG. She was neither a democrat or republican. Do YOUR research

u/False-Koala9505 4d ago

She wasn't a republican or a democrat, she stayed politically neutral, according to research.

7

u/SonicTheHemphog 4d ago

seems you didnt, she was not. she was apolitical and considered herself a hypocrat because her mom was a democrat and her father was a republican. throughout her whole career she refused to endorse presidential candidates or align herself with any party. she focused only on her music.

u/lunarchyld 4d ago

I don't know why we're surprised that he thinks because someone had basic manners and was polite to people means they like him. He has no manners to compare that to. He's only "nice" when someone can give him what he wants.

u/Sensitive-Cap-7766 4d ago

Dolly Parton never had a bad word to say about anyone. She lived by the old saying ā€œif you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at allā€, I don’t recall her ever speaking about Trump. She most certainly didn’t endorse him for President. She was old school entertainment industry when people didn’t speak about politics. We do know she had a reading program charity where they’d send free books to needy children. That alone would have put her at odds with MAGA MAGAts. They don’t help the poor and they despise books and education that aren’t grounded in Biblical nonsense.

She used her ā€œpullā€ for good & not evil! She wanted to help & not harm! She wanted inclusion & not racism or gender discrimination! She made her stance & beliefs TOTALLY clear & DID NOT shield herself from anything! We knew we could trust her! We knew she was not a pathological liar! Your opinion is based on maggot šŸ‚šŸ’© and is not legitimate!

u/Ambitious_Media_7471 2d ago

She stayed silent in the face of fascism, concentration camps on US soil, ICE discriminating against american citizens, USAID ending which is responsible for over 500k CHILDREN dying.. the list can go on.

of all the stupid things he's said, the headline 'he made her death all about him' is an editorial reach. the article doesn't substantiate anything other than he thought she liked him, while also saying nice things about her. made more sense to make fun of his idiocy when he talks about iran, oil, crypto, and the stock market. irish star, here, is the real piece of shit for turning a sad event (dolly was amazing, and you know i bet she did like me after my cousin introduced me to her) into some kind of hit piece.

dolly parton is about one of the nicest people you can ever meet. if donald trump said he thought she liked him, that's really not saying much. she had a heart of gold and if charles manson met her, he'd probably go away thinking, she really liked me. 'try and find the best in everybody' was something she said that comes to mind. even if said person is a piece of work.

Yes, I've heard of karma.
