Flashback: Oprah Winfrey once called Trump a ‘folk hero,’ a contrast to comments made during the DNC

Yes, indeed. It was during a 1988 episode of her iconic talk show that Oprah Winfrey described Donald Trump as a "folk hero," following the publishing of his bestseller "The Art of the Deal". She described him as a champion of the American dream and invited him to speculate on a potential run for President. However, her stance seemed to evolve over the years and she made comments during the 2020 Democratic National Convention that indicated she did not favor his leadership as President. It just goes to show how views can change over a period of time.
