President Trump said Tuesday he doesnt think television host Oprah Winfrey will actually run against him for president in 2020 but he insists he would defeat her if she did.

Yeah, Ill beat Oprah, the president told reporters at the White House. Oprah would be a lot fun.

Trump, speaking after meeting with senators, said he knows Winfrey very well and did one of her last shows.

I like Oprah, Trump said. I dont think shes going to run.

Trumps comments follow excitement from some Democrats and members of the media in recent days about the prospect of Winfrey challenging Trump after a much-touted speech during the Golden Globes.

Winfrey referenced the #MeToo movement and spoke out against sexual harassers during Sundays ceremony, saying Their time is up!"

Winfrey has not commented on the recent encouragement to run, but has denied harboring presidential ambitions in the past.

She won't run, but if she did she would decimate Trump. He couldn't even beat Hillary in the popular vote, and he thinks he'd beat Oprah period?

I mean, Clinton was massively unpopular.

Oprah is probably far more popular (but likely far worse as an actual president due to limited experience in the field)

Trump would destroy Oprah. She's making too much money to run for president.

Ala-fucking-bama voted for a Democrat. A state, mind you, that Trump won by 62% in 2016.

This isn't the same country that voted for Obama twice? If she has a good plan for the country, can identify with its people, and can make a case why she'd be better, she can win.

That's the beauty of this country.

It is, which sucks for you apparently. Popular vote doesn't elect presidents.

Hillary essentially lost the EC by a couple hundred votes last I checked, and is fairly unpopular. Oprah is insanely popular the world over, so pretending she wouldn't get far better turnout in the areas that matter is laughable.
And also Trump's popularity essentially peaked at the election (which again he won by incredibly slim margins to begin with), and has only tanked since.

I think turning WI and PA red is pretty impressive. Maybe that's just me talking. He also got OH and FL.

Both toss up states and two shockers.

Obama and his team were bussing around illegal immigrants to vote multiple times throughout their states. That's where 10-15 million of Hillary's popular votes came from. They won't be able to get away with it a second time. However, unlike Hillary, Oprah doesn't need to cheat. I don't think Oprah would win, but it would be a very close race and Oprah has the integrity to do things fair and square.

He won by 28%, with 62% of the vote. Which is to say, 3 out of 8 Alabamans who voted did not vote for Trump.
