But Team Trump didn't let Oprah slide and published a letter she sent to Trump in 2000. In it, Oprah laments that she wasn't running for office with him.
"Too bad we're not running for office together. What a team!" Oprah wrote.

And it turns out Oprah has also betrayed JD Vance, who not so long ago was heavily promoted by her for his memoir Hillbilly Elegy -- which was turned into a Hollywood film.
Boosted by Oprah’s Book Club, among other notables, Vance suddenly became a sought-after Trump translator on talk shows in the fashion of “Luther,” President Barack Obama’s fictitious “anger translator” created by the “Key & Peele” comedy team.
Not surprisingly, Hollywood wanted a piece of this action. Popular filmmaker [Ron Howard] brought cast and crew to Middletown — including stars Amy Adams as Vance’s drug-addicted mother and Glenn Close, his memorably profane but tough-minded grandma.
