You might scoff and think to yourself that the idea of Oprah Winfrey running for US President is nuts, but look at the world right now - Donald Trump, the guy with the hairdo from The Apprentice and that cameo in Home Alone 2, is the leader of the free world.
Anything's possible in this weird new timeline we all currently find ourselves in. The whole thing started - where else, these days - on Twitter when Oprah herself tweeted out an article from the New York Post urging her to run for President on the Democratic ticket in 2020.

This, of course, got pretty much every political and entertainment pundit in the US on the hunt for an exact quote from Oprah or her team, with The Wrap getting a statement - if you can call it that - that Oprah is not running for the 2020 ticket against Donald Trump. "She was just thanking the reporter, she is not running for office,” according to Winfrey's publicist.
Despite this, however, it hasn't stopped speculation that she's running and considering Winfrey was a major contributor and supporter to Barack Obama's campaign, it's not the most outlandish idea going.
After all, America is currently being ruled by a Razzie Award-winning actor who once had his own line of steaks. Anything's possible.
