President Trump Trolls Oprah After '60 Minutes' Segment

President Trump Trolls Oprah After '60 Minutes' Segment
Oprah on “60 Minutes”

President Donald Trump has decided to turn his Twitter trolling towards Oprah Winfrey.

The president mocked Oprah Sunday night, sarcastically calling for her to run for president so that “she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!”

Trump was set off by Oprah’s segment on CBS’ “60 Minutes” Sunday night, in which she returned to talk with a group of Michigan voters who were reflecting on Trump’s first year in office. She first interviewed the group last fall soon after Trump entered the White House.

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. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!

“Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes,” Trump tweeted from Mar-a-Lago.

“The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect,” he added.

Though speculation reached a fever pitch following her iconic Golden Globes speech, Oprah has repeatedly said she is not interested in the presidency.

She has yet to respond to the president’s tweets.
