President Trump on Sunday night lashed out at another billionaire TV personality: Oprah Winfrey.
He took exception to Oprahs segment on CBS 60 Minutes that brought a divisive group of Michigan voters back together to reflect on Trumps first year in 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, Trump said just before midnight at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
He sarcastically encouraged Oprah to attempt a White House bid despite her repeated denials that she is exploring a 2020 campaign.
The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect, Trump said. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!His tweet failed to elaborate on which questions or statements he found upsetting.
The segment had Oprah moderating the same 14 people assembled in 2017 to review the pros and cons of Trumps presidency.
One Republican participant, Jennifer Allard, who vowed to never vote for Trump, said he lacked the temperament to serve as commander-in-chief. She pointed to his penchant for volatile tweets as a prime example.

(46,234 posts)Trump didn't like having his supporters shown in such a pedestrian terms. He wants them exalted. Plus some of them conceded that he wasn't perfect and great (even though they'd vote for him again).
Next, he didn't like that the two disparate groups were finding things to agree upon. Perhaps one day, they will unite and work against him.
Next, Trump wants to choose his 2020 democratic candidate and he believes that he can beat *any* girl. So he's engaging in reverse psychology, hoping to get Oprah so incensed that she'll change her mind *again* and she'll run.
