When Oprah Winfrey endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, it was a big deal. Today, the Democratic Party is trying to turn Kamala Harris into Obama 2.0, and naturally, the party thought it was a good idea to un-retire Oprah the billionaire from irrelevancy to give a speech at the Democratic National Convention and gush about the most unpopular vice president in history.
Naturally, Trump had an epic response to Oprah's DNC speech endorsing Harris. He shared a handwritten letter to him from Oprah, dated Jan. 11, 2000.
Donald, I received the book excerpt. I have to tell you, your comments made me a little weepy. It's one thing to say and live a life of integrity—still another to have people like yourself notice.Thank you,
Oprah
Too bad we're not running for office. What a team!
Oprah's letter to President Trump:

Years before that letter, in 1988, Donald Trump was also on her famous talk show, during which she suggested that he run for president.
"You took out a full-page ad in, major U.S. newspapers, last year criticizing U.S. foreign policy. What would you do differently, Donald?" Oprah asked him during the show.
Trump responded by expressing his frustration over the U.S. being a "debtor nation" and how we were unfairly treated by its allies. He specifically cited Japan for benefiting from American markets without reciprocating, calling it "not free trade" since selling American products in Japan was nearly impossible.

Oprah knows cursive?
No sir, just a regular ole guy who knows the value of keeping information handy.
She’ll say and do whatever she is told as long as she gets that beachfront in Maui.
Yeah; like Ballots?
Yup.
Most Never Trumpers hate him because he doesn’t want America tied up in foreign wars.
Sure. They all wanted to get in on some of Trump’s money and his buildings. I like Chris Plante’s name for Al -—Al Charlatan.
Al’s change.
1) Love ya’ Don. You da man. Gimme a good man hug.
2) Always did hate that racist Trump.
People born in the 2000’s know and use cursive as well.
I meant something a little different.
YES!!
One of the best.
Old Fat Crooked Al {the pimp, drug man and thief} Sharpton.
Inspiring photo of the man of the cloth, the Reverend Sharpton. Or as talk radio guy Christ Plante calls him “Al Charlatan.”
There is a 2021 documentary of long lost footage of the 1969 black music festival the same summer as Woodstock. Summer of Soul. They had songs by Sly and the Family Stone, BB King, Nina Simone, The 5th Dimension. Never released film masters had been stored away in boxes and had to be repaired and remastered.
They allowed a scene where Rev. Jackson was trying to raise money for a charity and Al Sharpton actually tutored him about approaching businessmen saying tell them if they don’t fork over the money they will see chanting, angry protesters outside their office and see themselves called white racists on all the TV news shows.
We used to paraphrase that and accuse Sharpton and Jackson of that but this scene actually shows Sharpton saying it.
Bystanders said a lot of black people resented and questioned Sly and others allowing white performers in a band. “What are those whites doing up there? They don’t belong in our music.”
