I think after our current President’s unfortunate win, we all realized that just about anybody can run for prez.
But now, it’s become clear anyone could do it — leaving the office wide open for Oprah Winfrey, who is beyond qualified.

Now that a reality TV star is president, Oprah is rethinking things a bit.
“I [had] thought, Oh, gee, I don’t have experience. I don’t know enough. I don’t,” she said in the interview. “And now I’m thinking, ‘Oh. Oh!'”
Look, her experience compared to Trumps has got him beat by a long run. So even though I would prefer an experienced person of politics to be my next president, I would much rather Oprah be the Lady Potus than Agent Orange any day.
