Oprah for President?

Winfrey, a Hillary Clinton supporter, spoke to financier David Rubenstein in December for an interview for his Bloomberg Television show, which premiered this week.

She said that before Mr Trump's election she thought she did not have the necessary government experience to run the country but now she thinks differently.

The billionaire businessman had never before held public office before his election victory in November.

Winfrey also touched on her 25 years hosting a syndicated talk show.

She said her ultimate purpose for the show was to let people know that "we really are more alike than we are different".
