Donald Trump once said that Oprah Winfrey — who delivered a blistering speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday about accused sexual predators — would be his top pick to be his vice president.

“Oprah. I love Oprah. Oprah would always be my first choice. Oprah. Oprah, you’re competitor, right?” Trump told Larry King during a rambling interview in 1999, which was posted Monday on Twitter by the website UPROXX.

“I’ll tell you, she’s really a great woman. She’s a terrific woman. She’s somebody that’s very special,” added Trump, who has since been accused of being a serial sexual predator himself by more than a dozen women.

The queen of TV talk was given the Cecil B. DeMille award at the annual Globes ceremony, and praised the press for its coverage of the sexual harassment and abuse accusations lodged against a bevy of powerful but pervy men in politics, the entertainment industry and the media.

“I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association because we all know the press is under siege these days. We also know it’s the insatiable dedication to uncovering the absolute truth that keeps us from turning a blind eye to corruption and to injustice,” she said, in an obvious knock on the press-critic-in-chief.

“To tyrants and victims, and secrets and lies. I want to say that I value the press more than ever before as we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this: What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.”

The speech sparked speculation that Winfrey could be contemplating a run for the presidency herself in 2020.
