In what could be seen as karmic retribution, ‘Hurricane Dolly’ is set to plough towards Donald Trump’s home after the US president spuriously claimed the deceased singer ‘really liked him’
‘Storm Dolly’ could wreak havoc at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago – just days after country icon Dolly Parton’s death. The star tragically died aged 80 on August 25, leaving millions of music fans in mourning.
The US President was also keen to be seen grieving, telling podcast host Glenn Beck she “really liked him”. He bragged: “We all knew her so well. I knew her a little bit…. She really liked me.”
Dolly, known for her extensive philanthropic work, remained politically neutral but was twice offered the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump. Both times the Jolene singer turned down the President, saying she didn’t feel she “deserved the award”.

She was an outspoken advocate for the queer community and criticised a transgender ban in Tennessee in 2023, casting doubt over Trump’s claimed that she ‘liked him’.
Yesterday meteorologists announced an “astonishing coincidence” after an Atlantic storm named ‘Dolly’ started rolling its way westwards over the ocean towards central US. It could hit Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands by the weekend, they say.
And in what might be seen as karmic retribution, the weather phenomena’s natural path is then to sweep over Florida and Mar-a-Lago – Trump’s glitzy headquarters.

The storm’s name “Dolly” was chosen 30 years ago and is in no way related to Parton’s death. It currently has a 60% chance of becoming a tropical storm or depression, according to the National Hurricane Centre.
According to the centre’s website, it does not control the naming of tropical storms or when the names are used. “Instead a strict procedure has been established by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization,” the website states.
‘Dolly’ was assigned to a storm three times during Parton’s lifetime, and was last used for a tropical storm in 2020.
In 2008 ‘Dolly’ collided with southern Texas, bringing some much needed wetness to the region.
