President Donald Trump answered a question about honoring Dolly Parton by telling a radio audience the late country music star had liked him personally.<\/p>\n

Trump appeared on the Glenn Beck Show on Wednesday, where the conservative radio host asked the president why he had lowered the nation’s flags for a singer. Parton died Tuesday at 80, and Trump ordered American flags to half-staff that evening in a post on Truth Social, The Hill reported.<\/p>\n

“And for the first time in history, you said we should lower our flags, and you declared that our flags should be at half-staff,” Beck said. “That’s never been done before. Why’d you do it for her?”<\/p>\n

“Never,” Trump replied. We’ve done this, you know, lowering, but as I understand it \u2014 I’ve heard that from a couple of people. I’m a little surprised.”<\/p>\n

Flags will remain lowered until sunset on Sept. 1, a weeklong tribute that Newsweek noted is longer than the mourning periods Trump ordered for close allies,<\/span> including the late Sen. Lindsey Graham and activist Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n

“I mean, she was amazing,” Trump continued of Parton. “And to lose her, it’s like you lose a member of the family. You know, we all knew her so well. I knew her a little bit.”<\/p>\n

“She wasn’t a very political person. She really liked me, I will tell you,” Trump insisted.<\/p>\n

Parton spent her career refusing to take political sides, Newsweek reported, telling audiences she had as many Republican fans as Democratic ones.<\/p>\n

She turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom three times, according to NewsNation, declining the honor twice during Trump’s first term and once under former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

“I liked her a lot, and I thought it was a natural thing to lower the flags,” Trump told Beck.<\/p>\n
