President Trump slammed TV legend Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night as “insecure,” saying he hopes for the opportunity to “defeat” the billionaire businesswoman at the ballot box.
“Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes,” President Trump tweeted late Sunday.
“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!”
Trump’s tweet came after speculation that Winfrey might run for president after she delivered an inspiring speech while receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes last month.
Winfrey has said repeatedly that she doesn’t plan on running.
“I am actually humbled by the fact that people think that I could be a leader of the free world, but it’s just not in my spirit,” she said in a “60 Minutes Overtime” segment posted online.
