President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he could beat media mogul Oprah Winfrey in a presidential contest but said he did not think the actress and talk show host would run.
“I like Oprah,” Trump said, adding that he had appeared on her long-running afternoon program.
“I know her very well,” he told reporters during a meeting with lawmakers at the White House, before adding: “I don’t think she’s going to run.”
“Oprah would be a lot of fun,” he said.
Winfrey’s rousing speech at Sunday’s Golden Globes ignited speculation in Hollywood and on America’s political left that the billionaire chat show queen is harboring White House ambitions — buzz that delighted her legions of fans.

Let’s face it: Oprah would be a ‘breeze of fresh air’. As a Swiss I am just a little bit worried: Look at Trump: Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal sent him a not so friendly ‘tweet’ before the US elections and Trump’s ‘pay-back’ is that he approved the Saudi Crown Prince’s blackmail of Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal to the tune of 6 – 9 billion dollars. Now regarding Oprah: Do you recall the embarrassment a sales lady in Zurich (although not a Swiss national I think) created by not showing Oprah a hand-bag because she felt the 40’000 + Swiss Franc price tag was a bit much (not recognizing that Ms. Oprah is the richest American lady? (or Black American?). Ah well, still, I would take the risk …
There is still 3 years to go, let us see what will happen with Trump in 3 years. If his Poll is still under 45 percent, Oprah had a good chance.
