The letter, dated January 11, 2000, first appeared in a book the former president published last year titled Letters to Trump.
It featured messages from “some of the biggest names in history over the last 40 years” – including not only Winfrey, but also “big names” such as Richard Nixon, Princess DianaHillary Clinton and Kim Jong Un.
According to Winfrey, she wrote the note for Trump 24 years ago after he wrote about her in his 2000 book The America we deserve.
Although Trump would not seriously run for office until 2015, he suggested that his “first choice for Vice President would be Oprah Winfrey.”
