President Donald Trump took to social media Sunday night to call out talk show diva Oprah Winfrey after CBS aired her latest 60 Minutes segment discussing the leader.
“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.”
Trump went on to dare the Cecil B. Demille winner to run in 2020, tweeting, “Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!”

Following her recent Time’s Up speech, fans of the television icon recently encouraged the OWN owner to run for president. Though she appeared to entertain the idea for a few weeks, she later said she isn’t built for the oval office.
“I don’t have the DNA for it,” Winfrey told InStyle earlier this month.
She continued, “Gayle—who knows me as well as I know myself practically—has been calling me regularly and texting me things, like a woman in the airport saying, ‘When’s Oprah going to run?’ So Gayle sends me these things, and then she’ll go, ‘I know, I know, I know! It wouldn’t be good for you—it would be good for everyone else.’ I met with someone the other day who said that they would help me with a campaign. That’s not for me.”
