Donald Trump ‘likes’ Oprah, doubts she’ll run for president

WASHINGTON: Donald Trump said on Tuesday he liked actress and talk show host Oprah Winfrey, but speculated that she probably would not run against him in the 2020 presidential election
“I like Oprah,” Trump said, adding that he had appeared on her long-running afternoon program.
“I know her very well,” he said, before adding: “I don’t think she’s going to run.”
Winfrey’s rousing speech at Sunday’s Golden Globes ignited speculation in Hollywood and on America’s political left that the billionaire chat show queen is harboring White House ambitions — buzz that delighted her legions of fans.
“#Oprahforpresident” and “#Oprah2020” hashtags followed her speech at the Golden Globes, where Winfrey became the first black woman to receive a lifetime achievement award on Sunday.
Winfrey, an actress, movie and television producer, and chief executive of her own cable channel, is actively thinking about a run, CNN reported on Monday, citing two of her close friends. CNN did not name the friends, who it said had spoken on condition of anonymity.
