Back in '99, Trump floated the idea of running for president… with Oprah as his VP.

KING: We’re back with Donald Trump. We’re going to be all over the board tonight talking about lots of issues as he announces the formation of exploratory committee to possibly seek the candidacy of the Reform Party.

Do have a vice presidential candidate in mind?

TRUMP: Well, I really haven’t gotten quite there yet.

KING: It’s just, you know…

TRUMP: Oprah, I love Oprah. Oprah would always be my first choice.

KING: Oprah?

TRUMP: Oprah. Your competitor, right?

KING: No. Oprah is a competitor to no one.

TRUMP: You know what? I tell you, she’s really a great woman, though. She is a terrific woman. She is somebody that is very special.

EDIT: Here’s video of the interview.
