Former President Donald Trump recently weighed in on the train wreck that was Vice President Kamala Harris’s performance during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Trump posited that Harris’s apparent lack of preparation was so glaring that even the queen of daytime television was left red-faced, practically wanting to hide under her famous couch. It seems that not even a decade in politics could prepare Harris for the scrutiny that comes with sharing the stage with an entertainment titan like Oprah.
Critics were quick to point out Harris’s inability to tackle even the most fundamental questions posed by the audience during the event. When pressed about her plans to tackle the rising cost of living, Harris took the opportunity to meander through a wall of verbose non-answers, leaving the audience scratching their heads in confusion. This wasn’t just a minor hiccup; it was a full-blown case of verbal gymnastics without a single solid move.
Trump, who claims a long-standing relationship with Oprah that predates his entry into the political arena, remarked that he knows her far better than Harris does. According to Trump’s account, they shared good times long before political affiliations came into play. Today’s scenario, according to Trump, suggests the political landscape has turned friendship into rivalry, leaving a bitter taste where there once was camaraderie and mutual respect.

Despite their once-warm personal connection, the former president didn’t shy away from expressing that their political differences have led to a cooling of relations. Trump pointed out that while he and Oprah had shared many memorable moments—like when she hosted a notable funeral at Mar-a-Lago—politics can turn even the closest friendships into cold war zones. In Trump’s mind, it’s a classic case of politics making strange bedfellows, albeit in a much less comfortable way.
As for Winfrey, her transformation into a staunch Democratic supporter hasn’t gone unnoticed. After all, she’s not just another celebrity trying to sell the latest fad; she even graced the stage at the Democratic National Convention to cheer on Harris. However, if her recent event with Harris is any indication, it appears that even the most seasoned media mogul has a hard time polishing a candidate who can’t seem to articulate where she stands on key issues. If anything, the encounter may have provided voters with a glimpse into what they might expect if Harris were ever to take the helm.
