Oprah On Running for President : "I do not have the DNA for it"
It's a no-go from Oprah for 2020.
Oprah Winfrey, the media mogul and actress who spurred buzz of a White House bid with her stirring speech at the Golden Globes this month, [b]told InStyle that she isn't interested in being president.[:b]
"I've always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not. ... I don't have the DNA for it," Winfrey told the magazine.
The former talk show host said she has received plenty of encouragement toward a campaign, and zshe thought the mock-ups of an Oprah 2020 mug and other campaign literature were "cute."

A talking head put it best the night after the Golden Globes by saying Oprah is obsessed with public approval and her brand is built on being likeable. Being President would change all of that, where she would no longer be able toOriginally Posted by vickissick07

Trump actually told America he would run for President on her show. I doubt she wants to run against someone she is probably friends with.

She is very good friends with the Obama's. I doubt she has a similar relationship with President Trump particularly with him becoming very conservative.Originally Posted by lsiberian

Oprah was going to give every American a free car, and start book clubs for women across the nation.

Just goes to show how big of a sacrifice Trump made to give up his billionaire lifestyle to be ridiculed and slanded by the establishment and media....all to MAGA. God Bless Donald Trump.

Seems like she's just smart enough to realise being POTUS would be a gigantic pain in the arse though - something that apparently eluded Trump."A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."
