Trump on Dolly Parton: ‘She Was Amazing — and to Loser Her, It’s Like You Lose a Member of the Family’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “We've done this, you know, lowering, but as I understand it, I've heard that from a couple of people. I'm a little surprised. But she was unique. I mean, she was amazing. 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. She wasn't a very political person. She really liked me, I will tell you, but she also wanted to stay very -- you know, she, she was of the opinion, you know, the 50 percent who needs to lose. I don't think it's 50. I think it's probably 20% of the fans, OK, not 50, but she was a great person. And she was just a nice person. You know, I -- I liked her a lot. And I thought it was a natural thing to lower the flags.”
