Footage from a 1988 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show features a young Donald Trump expressing the same concerns about trade deficits and allies "ripping off" the United States that he holds today. In the clip, Trump discusses how Japan and Kuwait benefit from U.S. protection while blocking American goods. He tells Oprah that while he has no immediate inclination to run for president, he would not go in to lose if he did.
