The improbable political rise of Donald Trump has led Oprah Winfrey to think about whether or not she could become the second TV entertainer to work in the Oval Office.

Oprah told Bloomberg interviewer David Rubenstein that before Trump won the November election, she thought she was unqualified to be president.

But not anymore.

'I actually never thought that that was – I never considered the question, even a possibility,' she said.

But when reality-show icon Trump beat longtime politician Hillary Clinton, she said, 'I just thought, "Oh! Oh!"'

'Oh! Oh!' Oprah Winfrey said she has rethought whether she could run for president since Donald Trump won the job without the customary qualifications

Winfrey spoke to Bloomberg host David Rubenstein, and recalled when she improbably beat Phil Donahue in a ratings war

'I thought, "Oh, gee, I don't have experience. I don't know enough. I don't."

'And now I'm thinking, "Oh! Oh!"'

The television icon clarified later in the interview that she wasn't actually considering a presidential run, telling Rubenstein: 'That won't be happening.'

Internet publisher Matt Drudge of The Drudge Report threw fuel on the fire Wednesday, tweeting that he is hoping to see Winfrey run against Trump in 2020.

'Trump vs Oprah would be the most epic race in American history,' Drudge wrote, linking to this article. 'MAKE THIS HAPPEN...'

Oprah would be the first woman president if she were to leverage her near-universal name ID and nationwide support to match Trump's political lightning moment.

She told Rubenstein, a famed philanthropist who interviews business leaders on his show, that she built her career on one unlikely triumph after another.

When she was hired to host 'A. M. Chicago' in 1984, she said, most of her friends predicted she would fail because her show competed with legendary interviewer Phil Donahue.

'It didn't matter to me, because I did not think that he was beatable,' she recalled.

But ultimately, 'I beat him. I did. I wasn't trying to.'

If Oprah should run for president and win, she would gain one of the only public platforms bigger than the one she already enjoys.

Her lifestyle brand and 'OWN' cable TV network followed the 25-year run of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' and her starring role in the film 'The Color Purple.'

Countless millions saw her on TV internationally.

Trump had no political experience or other history of working in government before he campaigned for the highest elected office in the United States – and won

Despite the ratings, she said the founding of a girls' school in South Africa remains her proudest achievement.

But one famous friend warned her that her legacy could be about something unexpected.

'I remember when I started the school,' she recalled, 'I said to my beloved friend Maya Angelou, I said: "Maya, I'm so, I'm just so proud that I was going to be able to create this school." I said, "This is going to be my greatest legacy."'

'And Maya said to me, "You have no idea. You have no idea what your legacy will be ... because your legacy is every life you've touched".'

Winfrey supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 race against President Trump. She also endorsed Barack Obama during his historic run in 2008.

The Agence France-Presse news wire reported that in 1988, Winfrey asked Trump during an interview on her talk show whether he thought he would ever run for the White House.

'Probably not,' the real estate tycoon answered her, but added that if he ever took the plunge, 'I would have a hell of a chance of winning.'
