Trump Falsely Claims to Have Been Last Guest on Oprah Winfrey Show
ICARO Media Group
Former President Donald J. Trump recently made a false assertion that he was one of the last guests on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." In a social media post, Trump claimed that he appeared on the final week of Oprah's show, stating that it was an honor for him and his family to participate. However, this claim has been debunked, as records show that Trump last appeared on the show in February 2011, months before the show's conclusion in May of that year.
Despite the inaccurate statement, Trump criticized Oprah Winfrey's recent interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning the authenticity of the talk show host. The interview, which took place last Thursday and featured a lineup of celebrities, drew a substantial viewership. Trump's social media post expressing his doubts about the interview highlighted his ongoing feud with Oprah Winfrey and his tendency to spread misinformation.
CNN reported that Trump has made this claim multiple times, even during his presidency, dating back to at least 2013. While Trump did appear on Oprah's show during its final season, he was not part of the star-studded lineup featured in the last week of the show, which included notable figures such as Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Will Smith. Both Trump's campaign team and Oprah Winfrey's spokesperson have declined to comment on the matter, leaving the false claim unaddressed.
