Why Oprah is baffled at Donald Trump’s vicious attack
Oprah Winfrey has admitted that she has been left baffled by comments from US president Donald Trump, after he criticised a report she filed for the US version of 60 Minutes.
The segment in question involved the talk show host meeting a group of voters in Michigan, including several who supported Trump in the 2016 US election, and asking how they perceived President Trump’s first year in office.
The Leader of the Free World wasn’t happy with the report, and he was quick to voice his displeasure on his favourite communication medium, Twitter.
“Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes,” Trump wrote.
“The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!”
Winfrey took the comments as anything but constructive and voiced her confusion in a recent appearance on the Ellen show, where she explained just how baffled she was.
“I woke up and I just thought...” She shrugged and held her hands up in the air.
“And, I don’t like giving negativity power, so I just thought ... what? What I actually really did was I went back and looked at the tape to see if there was any place that that could be true.”
