SPECULATION
US talk show queen's impassioned speech Golden Globes speech sparks rumours she is running for president in 2020.
COULD Oprah Winfrey run for president and beat Donald Trump?
The United States was ablaze Monday with speculation that the billionaire talk show queen might be nurturing White House ambitions after her impassioned Golden Globes speech, reported AFP.
Hollywood's loathing of trump and democrats bafflement that a crass-talking reality star no previous government experience could win the presidency have fueled talk of, well, why not another television star, only one with the ''right'' politics?
Twitter ignited, Democrats championed Winfrey as superior to Trump and even Republicans admitted she was a formidable opponent to him, who actually named her as his pick for vice president in an interview 20 years ago.
The White House even waded in, saying trump would ''welcome the challenge'', whether it be Oprah Winfrey or anybody else.''
However, Winfrey's saying no.
''There'll be no running for office of any kind for me,'' she told CBS in October. But fevered speculations only escalated.
''Oprah for president? She got my vote,'' tweeted lady Gaga. CNN quoted two anonymous ''close friends'' as saying Winfrey was ''actively thinking'' about a presidential run.
Her long time partner suggested that she could be persuaded.
''I want her to run,'' Meryl Streep told The Washington Post. ''I don't think she had any intention. But now, she doesn't have a choice.''
Surely, Winfrey's fame, wealth, extraordinary personal story of overcoming poverty and child sexual abuse and pregnancy to build a $2.8 billion fortune and Oscar nominated acting career would stack up nicely in her favor.
