Oprah For President In 2020?

During an interview on “The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations,” Oprah Winfrey admitted she never seriously considered running for president in light of her lack of political experience.

But, in the aftermath of the Trump win, it appears she’s open to the idea. “I thought, ‘Oh gee I don’t have the experience,” Winfrey said. “I don’t know enough. And now I’m thinking, ‘Oh? Oh!’”

As she notes in the clip below, Trump has proven a political resume isn’t requisite for winning the White House.

Plus, we know she made her billions from scratch. Truly self-made.
