Look under your seat, America — it could be future President Oprah WIN-FREEEY!

The talk-show sage hinted in a new interview that President Trump’s
lack of government experience had her rethinking whether she could
someday lead the free world.
“So have you ever thought that, given the popularity you have — we
haven’t broken the glass ceiling yet for women — that you could actually
run for President and actually be elected?” philanthropist David
Rubenstein asked on his Bloomberg Television show, prompting applause.
“I actually never thought that that was — I never considered the
question even a possibility,” Winfrey replied. “I just thought, ‘Oh ...
oh.’”
“Right,” Rubenstein added. “Because it’s clear that you don’t need
government experience to be the President of the United States.”
“That’s what I thought,” she replied incredulously. “I thought, ‘Oh
gee, I don’t have the experience, I don’t know enough.’ And now I’m
thinking, ‘Oh. Oh.’”

And during a “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” interview in June, she said,
“It’s the one thing I know for sure, sure, sure, is I will never run
for office” — though she still took a subtle dig at Trump.
“Until this election year, I thought, ‘Wow, why do people say that? I
have no qualifications to run,’” she told Kimmel, laughing. “I’m feeling
pretty qualified. After this year, I’m feeling really qualified.”
Winfrey endorsed Hillary Clinton
for President last year, but threw her first-ever political endorsement
to former President Obama during the 2008 Democratic primary.
Trump memorably tossed Winfrey’s name around as a possible VP pick in
1999, when he briefly considered a Reform Party run for the Oval Office.
He reaffirmed his interest 16 years later after announcing his GOP
presidential bid — telling George Stephanopoulos a Trump-Winfrey ticket
would “win easily, actually” — but later said he hadn’t been serious.
