In February last year, he told his audience that he had terminal lung cancer. In the same month, Trump broke with tradition during his State of the Union address in the House of Representatives by awarding Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for a civilian in the United States, to First Lady Melania Trump on the spot.
The Washington Post reported that Limbaugh has a strong style, especially during the presidencies of Clinton and Obama, and has pushed conservative officials to take strong positions against immigration, global warming and the size of the government budget.

Trump praised Limbaugh as a remarkable genius, and “people respect Limbaugh whether they like him or not.”
Trump said Limbaugh has great instincts and insight in politics; not forgetting his dissatisfaction with the election results, Trump said in an exclusive interview that Limbaugh agreed with him that it was Trump who won and “he was very angry about it (referring to Biden‘s victory).”
White House spokeswoman Sharkey (Jen Psaki), when asked about the matter at a regular press conference, conveyed President Biden’s condolences to Limbaugh, and to his family.
