‘This isn’t the real Oprah’: Trump lashes out at talkshow host over Harris support

Just over a week ago, it was the pop superstar Taylor Swift. Now Donald Trump is taking aim at Oprah Winfrey over her support of Kamala Harris.

Whether or not attacking some of the most popular and powerful entertainment figures in US history will prove a solid campaign strategy is yet to be proven, but the former president has not held back.

In a rant on Truth Social, Trump said he "couldn't help but think this isn't the real Oprah".

"This isn't a person that wants millions of people, from prisons and mental institutions, and terrorists, drug dealers, and human traffickers from all over the world pouring into our country," he wrote.

In the post, Trump noted that the TV show host Winfrey had invited him and his family on to her talkshow the final week of the show's finale.

"It was my honor, with my family, to do it," he wrote.

The episode with his family actually aired in February, three months before the series finale in May 2011. At the time, Winfrey's show billed it as the first Trump family interview with his wife, Melania, who he had married six years earlier.
