Nobody Can Stop Laughing at Trump's Pathetic Attempt to Take Down Oprah

He really tried coming after our national treasure Oprah Winfrey.

Oh hell no. Trump did not just come for Oprah.

Not even on President’s Day weekend (is that even a real holiday?) can Trump keep his little hole of a mouth shut. Instead the he decided to attack this nation’s greatest treasure, calling her “insecure” and “slanted.”

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!

He’s referring to a 60 Minutes segment hosted by Oprah with 14 voters from Grand Rapids, Michigan. They first appeared on the show with O in fall 2017. In Sunday’s episode the mix of pro- and anti-Trump voters reunited to see where they stand politically six months later.

Since Oprah’s historic Golden Globes speech, people have been begging and praying that Ms. Winfrey make a bid for the Oval Office. "Are you kidding me? I was just trying to give a good speech," she told Ann Silvio on 60 Minutes Overtime, according to CNN. "I was looking for a way to express what was going on in this moment in terms of gender and class and race." She told Silvio the presidency is “not in my DNA,” an answer she also gave to InStyle last month.

But Trump still wants Oprah to run, so that she can supposedly lose. I don’t think so Donald—even your ex-BFF Steve Bannon thinks Oprah would come out on top. Trump and Oprah have a history together, with Trump even saying in a 1999 interview that he would make Oprah his running mate if he ever made a bid for president.

That’s all in the past now, and people aren’t going to let Trump get away with slandering Oprah’s name like that. Not today sir, not ever.

Trump accusing Oprah of being insecure is like me accusing someone else of farting on my couch just now https://t.co/Lh1Wty1T03

Last Night Trump called Oprah Winfrey 'very insecure'.

Maybe I'm wrong but Oprah seems like the definition of "very secure"

On the other hand, someone who spends their day using a mass shooting of children to rationalize why THEY aren't going to prison.. that's another story...

Insecure. Subject to fears, doubts, etc.; not self-confident or assured.

Also insecure: Not firmly or reliably placed or fastened. #Oprah #Trumphttps://t.co/UIy3IeYghB https://t.co/y9ZiKrKkBj
