Sean Spicer Dismisses Oprah Winfrey Presidential Run Because Of Inexperience
Oprah is certainly better qualified than Trump to be president. She has more business savvy and is probably worth much more financially. She didn't inherit her wealth.
Forbes list her as the richest American female - at $3.1 billion.
She didn't work for her wealth either.
So how did she get started bird brain..she was poor as a child. She was abused. She is a overcomer .
.
Unlike Trump - she was born in poverty and truly made her own fortune - every bit of it.
