Oprah Winfrey responds to new Trump book that includes a letter she wrote to him in 2000

Former President Donald Trump is releasing a new book that features private letters from politicians and celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, who wrote to him in 2000.

She wrote at the time, "Too bad we're not running for office," according to Axios. "What a TEAM!"

"I think he'd written a book and said that he wanted me to be his running mate ... if he decided to run," Winfrey said in an interview that aired Tuesday on "CBS Mornings."

"And when I heard that this letter is now going to be a part of a book, I thought, 'Oh, wasn't that nice of me to write a note.' That's what I thought, because I'm always like, 'Oh, I should write a note. The person did this, or I should write a note,'" she said. "So I'm really happy that I wrote a note."

But she said she's not thinking that she and Trump would be a team.

"I might have thought it back then. I might have thought it 23 years ago," she told CBS News' Gayle King.

"I'm not thinking it today," she added.

"Letters to Trump," expected to be released in April, includes correspondence from other high-profile figures, including former President Bill Clinton, Princess Diana and Richard Nixon, as well as North Korea's Kim Jong Un, according to Axios.

I believe it was at the Al Smith Memorial Dinner in NY City in 2017 where Trump outlined all the politicians and media people who before 2016, all claimed to be his good friends, what nice things they said about him, certain politicians who wanted his advice and his money, etc...

He had half of Washington DC and Hollywood cringing.

Whether you receive a welfare check, or earned billions, if you stray off the liberal reservation, you will be attacked.

My sister works for Oprah Winfrey. She says that they are not friends but they greet each other very cordially when they see each.

Speaking of Oprah, would really like to know if she scored that interview with the Harkles by making a sizeable donation to Archewell first...
