President Winfrey? No way says Trump : 'I'll beat Oprah'
President Winfrey? No way  says political prognosticator Donald Trump.
Asked about all the presidential speculation suddenly swirling around Winfrey  the typically pugilistic  Trump  steered clear of nasty nicknames and colorful insults while sizing up such a potential celebrity showdown.
"Oprah would be a lot of fun " said  Trump   who added that  he  knows her "very well."
 Trump  appeared on Winfrey's long-running talk show in 1988 and again with  his  family in 2011  during  her  final season.
The presidential buzz follows Winfrey's impassioned call for "a brighter morning even in our darkest nights" at the Golden Globes on Sunday night in a speech that left some viewers contemplating the idea of the Democratic Party embracing a celebrity candidate of its own to challenge Trump in 2020.  Trump   of course  was a businessman-turned-reality-television-star before  his  extraordinary political rise.
 Trump's daughter Ivanka  endorsed Oprah's message  if not a political future  in a tweet Monday: "Just saw @Oprah's empowering and inspiring speech at last night's #GoldenGlobes. Let's all come together  women & men  & say #TIMESUP! #UNITED"
Winfrey  in September and October  publicly dismissed the notion of seeking the nation's highest office  though  she  noted that  Trump 's victory made  her  rethink the requirements of the office.
 Trump 's kind words for Oprah are not new. In a 1999 interview   he  praised her as a strong choice for vice president.
