    Did Donald Trump really make this ridiculous statement about wanting a globalist liberal like Oprah Winfrey as a running mate or is this parody and satire?

    Quite a few articles I've read said it was a joke. Here's one:

    Trump says he'd ‘love to have Oprah’ as 2016 running mate

    Donald Trump may want Oprah Winfrey as his own celebrity apprentice for his White House bid.


    The billionaire real estate mogul admitted in an interview taped Tuesday that he would consider asking the former talk show host and media magnate to add her name to his campaign ticket as his vice president.


    “I think Oprah would be great,” Trump told ABC in an interview slated to air on “Good Morning America.” “I’d love to have Oprah. I think we’d win easily, actually.”


    “She’s great, she’s talented, she’s a friend of mine,” Trump said, when asked about his past musings about teaming up with Winfrey for a presidential ticket. “She’s a good person. I’ve been on her show.”


    “I like Oprah. I mean, is that supposed to be a bad thing? I don’t think so,” he added during the interview, which was apparently taped after Trump’s bombastic 2016 presidential announcement speech.


    Trump initially posed the idea of running for president with Winfrey on the ticket as his No. 2 in 1999, when he briefly considered launching a bid for Reform Party.


    When asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos if he was still interested in the idea, he responded, “I like Oprah, what can I tell you.”


    But on Wednesday, during a separate interview on Fox News Channel’s “Fox and Friends,” Trump rolled back his comments, saying he and Stephanopoulos were only joking.


    “He said that as a joke,” Trump said. “All of a sudden, they say, Donald wants Oprah. Give me a break.”


    On Tuesday, Trump announced his bid in a long-winded 45-minute speech that included offensive remarks about Mexican immigrants, the entire nation of China and his competitors for the GOP nomination.

    That's good to know, Trump has to be careful about what he says because such missteps could cost him dearly.

    Oprah: old racists ‘have to die’ to achieve racial progress

    11/15/13 03:44 PM—UPDATED 04/30/14 05:52 PM


    By Morgan Whitaker

    Oprah Winfrey gave her frank take on the state of racism in America and how the U.S. has evolved as a country in an interview promoting the British release of her recent film, Lee Daniels’ the Butler.


    “It would be foolish to not recognize that we have evolved, in that we’re not still facing the same kind of terrorism against black people en masse,” she said in her interview with BBC Arts Correspondent Will Gompertz.


    “Are there still places where people are terrorized because of the color of their skin, because of the color of their black skin? Yes,” she added. “But there are laws that have allowed us to progress beyond what we saw in The Scottsboro Boys and beyond the – even prejudice that we see in the Butler.”


    But Winfrey insisted that the problem would not be solved until older Americans with more racist tendencies die off.


    “As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, the problem is not solved,” she said, adding,“There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it – in that prejudice and racism – and they just have to die.”

    She also took on the manner in which President Obama has been treated in office.


    “Just the level of disrespect – when the senator yelled out ‘you’re a liar,’ remember that?” she said, presumably refering to the instance in which Rep. Joe Wilson shouted the words “You lie!” at the president while he was addressing a joint session of Congress.


    “I think there’s a level of disrespect for the office that occurs, and that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he’s African-American,” she said.
