After her speech at the Golden Globes, America is abuzz with talk of Oprah running for president in 2020. Winfrey has said in the past that she has no plans to do so. However, in an interview with the LA Times, Winfrey's partner Stedman Graham said she would "absolutely do it."

Vigeland argues, however, that people should be questioning President Trump's fitness for office aside from the details disclosed in Wolff's tell-all.
