Default Oprah Winfrey: US presidential bid 'does not interest me'
https://news.sky.com/story/oprah-win...ction-11222171


Too much hard work for her .

[Oprah Winfrey has said she will not run for US president, after rumours
she could stand against Donald Trump in 2020.
In an in-depth interview with InStyle magazine given three weeks
before her famed Golden Globes speech, the 63-year-old talk show host
said the presidency was "not something that interests me".]

Good. This ridiculous circus of celebs competing for the role has to stop.

Yes. No more celebrities. They're plenty high in the charisma category but low in the substance category...

Yes didn't Oprah get in some bother by saying the 'older generation has to die' before racism is solved !!!! Just imagine if Trump had said that,

If he did nothing would happen? He's said much worse and his supporters constantly stand by him

I don't really want someone who became famous for giving away free stuff to be any prominent politician, tbh.

Of course its inflammatory. But I would be surprised if any celeb got through their career without saying at least one inflammatory thing

And before 'but Trump is criticized for things he says' is thrown at me, Trump has not said one, two or even ten inflammatory things. He got elected based on purely inflammatory things and remains the biggest gob****e known to man.

Thank god. Her connections to Harvey Weinstein would kill her candidacy before it even began
