Donald Trump is mourning the death of entertainer Diamond Lynnette Hardaway, best known as one-half of the “Diamond and Silk” duo, after her death Monday night aged 51.
One of Trump’s most ardent supporters, Hardaway’s “unexpected” death was revealed as “really bad news for Republicans” by the former president.
“Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, all Americans,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loves so much, North Carolina.”
Referring to Hardaway as “Magnificent Diamond,” the ex-POTUS said her sister Silk Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway was “with her all the way, and at her passing.”
“There was no better team anywhere or at any time,” Trump added.

“Diamond & Silk” rose to fame during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign after they sensationally switched from lifelong Democrats to hardcore Republicans after Trump’s White House bid was announced a year earlier.
The vloggers became social media stars and frequent Fox News guests throughout Trump’s tenure as commander-in-chief — including appearances with Trump in the Oval Office.
“There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed,” he concluded.

A GiveSendGo page has been set up in her honor. A message on the page reads, “The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity!”
“Diamond blazed a trail, founded on her passion and love for the entire race of humanity,” the message continues. “The memory of her passing should forever remain in our hearts. In this time of grief, please respect the privacy of Diamond’s family but remember and celebrate the gift that she gave us all.”
Hardaway’s health sparked concern back in November after the duo’s official Twitter account pleaded with fans to pray for her.

“Anyone who believes in the power of prayer please pray for Diamond,” the tweet read, however, a reason for the sudden plea was never given.

In 2018, the pair claimed Facebook had flagged their Trump-loving videos as “unsafe.” They received an apology from the social media site several months later.
The sisters were fired from their Fox News roles back in 2020 for promoting conspiracy theories about COVID-19. They also claimed on-air that death figures from the virus were being manipulated to ruin Trump’s image.

Former President Donald Trump, speaking at a memorial service for half of the conservative duo “Diamond and Silk,” said he never really knew Silk.
Trump was among a number of Republicans who spoke at the memorial in North Carolina on Saturday for Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway, 51, who died suddenly earlier this month.
Rochelle “Silk” Richardson praised the former president for the relationship he had with her and her sister, saying Trump treated the siblings “just like the other children: Eric, Don Jr., Tiffany,” according to the Daily Mail.
Trump called Diamond one of the world’s “biggest stars,” but noted that he “didn’t know Silk at all.”

‘I’m serious. I thought I knew them both, I didn’t, I knew Diamond, but I didn’t know Silk at all. I just learned about Silk. You’re fantastic, you’re going to carry on beyond, beyond anybody’s wildest imaginations,” he said.

The former president has been pictured with the pro-Trump duo numerous times, including in the White House’s Oval Office.
When news of Diamond’s death on Jan. 8 surfaced, Trump called her “Magnificent Diamond” in a posting on his Truth Social platform.
“Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, all Americans,” Trump wrote at the time. “Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loves so much, North Carolina.”

He said Silk with “with her all the way, and at her passing.”

“There was no better team anywhere or at any time,” Trump added.

Silk, in her comments about her sister, claimed that Diamond died from a plot related to anti-COVID-19 vaccination conspiracy theories.

“Instead of asking if Americans are vaxxed or unvaxxed, the real question to ask is: Are Americans being poisoned?” she asked the crowd at a church in Fayetteville, N.C.

“In the wild, when they want to depopulate and sterilize a large group of animals, they usually inject one animal, and then that one animal infect the rest of the animals,” Silk said.

“In case some of you have been hiding under a rock or still stuck in denial, people are dropping dead around here, and nobody is talking about it! They are dropping dead suddenly and unexpectedly,” she said.

She noted that the scientific community considers those deaths Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

“Many call it a conspiracy theory. I call it murder,” she said.
