Donald Trump doesn’t think the support of a former President or a talk show legend are going to help far-left Democrat Stacey Abrams get elected governor of Georgia.
In an interview with the Washington Times, Trump said that neither Barack Obama, who is set to campaign for Abrams Friday evening, nor Oprah Winfrey, who campaigned for her on Thursday, would be enough to lift her to victory.
Abrams is running against Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp in an attempt to become the country’s first black woman governor.
While many would view the endorsements of Oprah and the country’s first black president to be a huge lift, President Trump scoffed at the notion they would have any significant sway.
“Oprah can go and Obama can go, I don’t think it’s going to make a difference,” he predicted.

Trump on Oprah, Abrams
President Trump has been very careful not to disparage Winfrey, noting that he likes her personally and as a businesswoman.
“I was on Oprah’s last week of her show, Oprah liked me very much,” the President reminded reporters following an immigration speech. “I’ve always liked Oprah. Oprah’s very good.”
Still, she’s throwing her political weight behind a woman in Abrams who he believes is too extreme to be governor.
“She is not qualified to be governor of Georgia,” Trump added. “Take a look at her past, take a look at her history, at what she wants to do. That state will be in trouble quite quickly.”
Resurfaced photos from 1992 show Abrams, who wants to be governor of Georgia, along with fellow protesters, burning a state flag outside the Capitol building.

Abrams is a far-left extremist
Abrams has made it clear that she’d also like to remove other Civil War and Confederate symbols in the state, including the iconic carving on Stone Mountain just outside Atlanta.
She is what the Kemp campaign also described as “too extreme for Georgia.”
For her part, Abrams has provided some pretty significant examples of what makes her extreme and unqualified.
- She wants Georgians to pay higher taxes, even saying it is necessary.
- She criticized the agricultural and hospitality industries, saying they weren’t worth working in as an employee.
- She wants President Trump impeached.
- She supports socialism.
While President Trump is being gentle with Oprah, Vice President Mike Pence blasted her as a “Hollywood liberal.”
Fox News host Laura Ingraham was a little tougher, calling Oprah out for “race-baiting” during her speech and adding that Winfrey is “better than that.”
The talk queen has a history of race-baiting, having once said old white people “have to die” before progress can be achieved against racism.
WATCH: Don’t get me wrong here, racism is disgusting…
BUT “President” Oprah saying that a generation of people that “JUST HAVE TO DIE” because they were born into a culture of racism is hard to watch. pic.twitter.com/KKIkZQOBkH— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) January 11, 2018
Will Oprah run for President in 2020?
Many view Oprah’s presence on the political stage as a possible prelude to a 2020 presidential campaign. To the crowd’s dismay, she continued to insist she will not run.
“I want to make it very clear to all the press – everyone – I’m not here making some grand stand and I’m thinking about running for myself. I don’t want to run,” she said.
“I’m not here to test any waters,” Oprah added. “I don’t wanna go in those waters.”
She has claimed the only thing that could change her mind would be a sign from God.
Tim Young, I am very conservative but I totally understand what Oprah is saying, it’s not that a generation have to die for their prejudice but when the senior generation has passed so passed is the teachings they received when they were children. She was referring to the passage of time because none of us gets out of this life alive. It makes me wonder though how many generations have to pass until the black people lose their prejudice against white people?
Remember what happen when Bareback Obumma went to South AFRICA, for Mandela…100th Birthday, even though he is a dead Communist. The Blacks took the land of the farmers, after they raped and killed them. These are not nice people!!!
Rasmussen: Republicans +1
President Trump saved America…we must save the Republic!!
So,I will vote…
We all must VOTE…VOTE to DECIMATE… VOTE to HUMILIATE…
EVERYONE MUST VOTE, TO END THEIR LIES AND HATE!!!
Bring your friend,
Invite your foe,
Get your family up, and GO…VOTE!!!
VOTE RED…or stay in bed.
Do you really want to give power to those that want to exterminate you? Don Lemon, thinks you should too!!
Stacey doesn’t think agriculture is worth working in as an employee. Well, if everyone were to agree and stop working in agriculture, where would she get all that food that it looks like she is very fond of?
Flensing is the process of systematically removing blubber from the carcass of a whale so that it may be rendered down into whale oil, used for lamps and lanterns before Kerosene became widely available.
Propped up by Big Media scum, TeeVee Blabbermouf Orca Winfreez and the propped up by Big Nation Wrecking scum, Jawjuh welfare sponge, gap toothed, equally obese Commie sick joke Abrams could use some Flensing…this afternoon.
I believe that there are antique Flensing blades in whaling museums.
Let’s get them out and sharpen them up, along with harpoons; and put them to good political use.
I don’t like saying this , but Oprah’s statement has a bit of truth. The sons and daughters of parents usually grow up with new opinions of living. As generations pass on, the parents’ archaic belief systems fade away, but good religious values will endure. Trump would be complete idiot to say disparaging words about Oprah. It would the end of his political career.
James, you just let everybody know that you have a moldy peanut where your brain should be.
Never liked Oprah, beginning decades ago when she started co-hosting a local TV show in Baltimore with Richard Sher. My wife invited her to speak at the mostly black high school where my wife was a teacher. Oprah turned on this phony “ghetto” accent in her talk that was nothing short of sickening.
Oprah campaigned for Obama who was as much an extremist as this woman so why is anyone surprised?
A sign from God? Better be careful what you ask for….
I am surprised that Oprah or any Black person for that matter is so in bed with the Democrat Party. The reason for that surprise is a bit of history. The Emancipation Proclamation really didn’t free the slaves it was a means by which President Lincoln was able to wage war on the Southern states who still held slaves. What actually freed the slaves was the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. So here is the real leson for all Black Democrats: In 1864, an amendment abolishing slavery passed the U.S. Senate but died in the House as Democrats rallied in the name of states’ rights. The election of 1864 brought Lincoln back to the White House along with significant Republican majorities in both houses, so it appeared the amendment was headed for passage when the new Congress convened in March 1865. Lincoln preferred that the amendment receive bipartisan support–some Democrats indicated support for the measure, but many still resisted. The amendment passed 119 to 56, seven votes above the necessary two-thirds majority. Several Democrats abstained, but the 13th Amendment was sent to the states for ratification, which came in December 1865. With the passage of the amendment, the institution that had indelibly shaped American history was eradicated.
So you MS Oprah it was the Republican Party that actually Freed the Slaves.
Can you imagine the dirt that would be dug up on her if she did run….. She is not as pure as she would have everyone believe and running would probably destroy her and her empire too…
Democrats, like Muslims encourage lying to advance their agenda. If you like your doctor, you can keep him. If you like your insurance plan, you can keep it. The attack on the Benghazi outpost was caused by a video on the life and times of the pedophile prophet. ETC..
Oprah does not have the mental capacity to make sound judgements about any political affairs…and Obama is a disgrace to the United States…
The past will tell you the kind of Oprah and Obama are, if you vote with Abrams. They’re all racists and will not do anything good to America and Georgia.
Oprah and Barack are bot RACISTS and are supporting Stacey Abrams because she is Black!
Racism is just another Democrat résumé enhancement.
