I hope so.
If Donald Trump became president of the United States, why not Oprah Winfrey?
At the end of the day, he is a billionaire known for his flirtations with the pink press, his business and real estate bankruptcies, his outgoing tone and his status as a television star, while she is a multi-millionaire and philanthropist, producer, star of television and actress, winner of 1 Oscar, 18 Emmys, 1 Golden Globe and 1 Tony. She also has possession of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the most important civil decoration in the United States. It was given to him by Barack Obama, who had so much to thank for his early support in the 2007 primaries and the 2008 elections.
Despite the obvious weaknesses of the current president, the Democrats badly survive the serious attack of melancholy that led to the withdrawal of Obama and the subsequent Trump victory over Hillary Clinton. Normal, then, that rumors increase with respect to the hypothetical candidacy of an Oprah more consecrated than ever, if possible, after his speech at the Golden Globes.
Minutes after finishing the gala social networks and, a little later, the television networks, started a speculative debate that seems to grow with the passing of the hours.
Is it possible that the first African-American billionaire in the history of the United States, the woman who was queen and goddess of television, the revolutionary of the morning programs, always halfway between the singsong of reading clubs and the argumentative of the decalogues of self-help, charismatic and telegenic like almost no one, demagogue and brilliant, and above super actress and skillful businesswoman and producer, become the alternative in 2020 to Trump?
Already during the gala the presenter, Seth Meyer, joked about how his ridicule towards Donald Trump, in a distant act of 2011, could have spurred the builder to present his candidacy. "If that's true," Meyers said, "then I just want to say: Oprah, you will never be president! You do not have what you have to have! "
Two of Oprah's friends, who asked not to be identified, have told CNN that the all-powerful host is seriously considering introducing herself. Not only that: it would be a long-considered hypothesis. Especially after the triumph of Donald Trump showed that they changed the rules of the game and that the public prefers the excitement and boutade of opting for an outsider to the system rather than the sober boredom and the stereotyped language of the consecrated politician.
Come on Oprah!
