Oprah is not one to play with!
The mogul was attacked by President Donald Trump recently on Twitter as he addressed previous comments against him during her interview with 60 Minutes as well as a call for her to run for president in 2020.
Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!

She was a guest on The Ellen Degeneres Show where Oprah reacted to the comments in a way that doesn’t shed light at the negativity.
“I woke up and I just thought,” Winfrey said. “I don’t like giving negativity power, so I just thought, ‘What?’” She later continued. “What I actually really did was I went back and looked at the tape to see if there was any place that that could be true. Did I feel like it was slanted or biased? I went back and looked at every tape; I called the producer. When I had asked the question, ‘Do you care about what other people think about America?’ they only used the Democratic side,” she said. “I remembered the guy Matt had said, ‘No. We’re the only people who are worried what other countries are thinking of us.’ And I said, ‘I think you should go back and put that in because it makes it more balanced.’ So, I was working very hard to do the opposite of what I was hate-tweeted about, [but] it’s OK”
