2020 Presidency: I’m ready for Oprah Winfrey, says Trump

President Donald Trump does not think that Oprah Winfrey will run for president in 2020, but he has a prediction on what would happen if she did: He would win.

“Yeah, I’d beat Oprah. Oprah would be a lot of fun,” Mr Trump said during a meeting at the White House.

“I don’t think she’s going to run,” he added.

Speculation has been swirling around Oprah’s potential 2020 race since she delivered a rousing speech at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday, when she praised the courage of women who have spoken up against sexual violence in recent months, praised the news media, and promised that there is still a brighter future ahead.

Oprah has in the past said that she has no plans on running for elected office, but sources close to the celebrity have said since that awards speech that she is “actively considering” running for president against Mr Trump in 2020.
