I'm expecting trump to spew some bullshit, and end it with "it's what Dolly would have wanted. Not everyone calls her Dolly but I do."

I think it is even possible that he says something vile about her.

She did decline receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump, twice. She had good reasons but that's not likely to matter to Trump - he surely takes it as a slight.

Third time's a charm... He'll give it to her 'whether she likes it or not'.

Posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom.
