Nobody actually cares about Trump being successful in TV - about the only thing he ever really succeeded at doing. The problem is that he is a sleazy, bigoted, stupid, immature, and mentally unstable con-man. Too bad right-wingers just can't figure that part out and instead believed his lies and nutball TV persona.

Trump is worth 4 billion, he can buy and sell Oprah (she's worth in the low 2's). Caddy job?

No, you don't get to play this game.

Your partisan tribe was the one who opened the door to this lunacy. Against all common sense and reason the far-right voted for a nasty, bigoted, sleazy reality star in Trump - a slimebag who has paid neither his taxes nor his employees. You went all-in with a morally bankrupt con-man who said every stupid thing under the sun to win the presidency - and you believed it.

Not a fraction of the right-wing extremists who lick Trump's boots today would have trusted him before he ran as a sainted Republican with their retirement accounts, house for a weekend, or wife or daughter for a night. Hypocrites to the last, they cast aside the facts to support their tribe before their nation.

So, no, you do not get to complain now if Oprah or any other reality star runs - and wins. You let this happen.
Spot on. We get to nominate and possibly elect someone richer than Trump that gets to open hotels by the White House and direct visitors to stay there, vacation every weekend, hire family, provide security for 20+ family members and watch TV all day. Oh and they get to charge the country $65,000 in one month for the Secret Service to use their elevator.

LOL. They’re allegedly worth about the same amount, but I bet she’d disclose her taxes and she’s not beholden to Russian banks.

In the past, there was an assumption that you ought to least have served a few years as a senator, governor, legislator etc. to be President. With the election of Trump that bit of commonsense went out the window.

MAGA Morons are Governing America.

I will take what we got now over the tyranny and uncertainty we experienced for the last 2 decades.

Not sure about Trump since he refuses to provide documents (sort of like his health report) but apparently Oprah is richer. Either way, we're talking about billions so it's all good. And Oprah never filed for bankruptcy, Trump has multiple times.

Oprah, boosted by Weight Watchers stake, is richer than President Trump

Thank you so much for this! It's all I'll be able to think about whenever I see that acronym from now on, and I will forever be grateful. Hysterical!

How much of that 4 billion is actually the Russians?

I do not want Oprah as president nor do I believe she is a “messiah”. She is pretty anti-science. I’m not down for that.
