Oprah Winfrey is not running for President and she never will so you’ll just have to get over it.
The talk show host spoke with Jimmy Kimmel about how the idea of her with running for the American presidency began trending after her celebrated Golden Globes speech. However, it wasn’t anything she’d ever seriously considered.
While on the show, Oprah was also asked for her thoughts on the recent nasty tweet President Trump aimed at her:
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!

Admirably, she explained that she decided she wasn’t going to warrant his tweet with her own response. Even with Kimmel saying he would have totally tweeted back, Oprah insisted: “you don’t win by meeting any kind of negativity head on.”
Fair play.
