Trump on Oprah: She won't run in 2020 but I'd win anyway

					    Actress and TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey, seen here posing with the Cecil B DeMille Award during the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, delivered a rousing speech that has Democrats talking about her running for president in 2020 
				    
US President Donald Trump weighed in Tuesday on fevered speculation about a potential 2020 White House bid by Oprah Winfrey, saying she probably would not run against him, but if she did, he would win.
"I'll beat Oprah," Trump said of the Oscar-nominated actress and talk show host.
"I like Oprah," he said, noting that he had appeared on her long-running afternoon program. 
"I know her very well," he said, before adding: "I don't think she's going to run."
Winfrey's rousing speech at Sunday's Golden Globes Awards ceremony ignited speculation that the billionaire talk show queen is harboring Oval Office ambitions.

					    US President Donald Trump said he does not believe talk show host Oprah Winfrey will run for president, but if she does, he will win

				    
Some Democrats -- still reeling from Hillary Clinton's shock loss to Trump in 2016 -- have embraced the idea of having their own celebrity candidate.
But there is little indication that the 63-year-old actually wants the job.
"I don't think at this point she is actually considering it," said Winfrey's best friend Gayle King, who is also a television personality.
King suggested, however, that the actress was "intrigued" by the idea of running.
"I also know, after years of watching the Oprah show, you always have the right to change your mind," she said.
- Focused on Trump's re-election -
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders was also drawn into the speculation on Tuesday about a potential Winfrey candidacy.
Asked by a reporter whether she had any advice for an "outsider" considering a White House run, Sanders said: "I'm not going to focus on anyone's campaign other than President Trump's re-election."
"I'm sure if she decides to run, which I think the president states he doesn't feel she will, I'm sure she'll have help with that," Sanders added.
Sanders was also asked whether she believed Winfrey was qualified to run for president.
"Look, I disagree very much on her policies," the spokeswoman said. "Is she a successful individual? Absolutely.
"But in terms of where she stands on a number of positions, I would find a lot of problems with that," Sanders said. "But that would be something she would have to determine and lay out if she made a decision to run."
Sanders was also questioned about a tweet from Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump praising Winfrey's Golden Globes speech.
"Just saw @Oprah's empowering & inspiring speech at last night's #GoldenGlobes," Ivanka Trump tweeted Monday night.
"Let's all come together, women & men, & say #TIMESUP #UNITED," she said in a reference to the campaign to end sexual harassment.
Sanders said the message from the White House is that "everyone should come together."
