The California Democrat tweeted to her more than 680,000 followers on Monday:

What? Oprah insecure? I don't think so. As a matter of fact, Oprah is richer than you are. Deal with that. Not true? Show your tax returns! — Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) February 20, 2018

According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth actually is greater than that of Winfrey. On its 2017 Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, Trump got 248th place, with a net worth of $3.1 billion, while Winfrey takes the 264th slot, with $3 billion.

In 2016, Trump became the first major party presidential nominee in 40 years to refuse to release his tax returns; his exact net worth is not known.

Waters — who has repeatedly called for Trump to be impeached — tweeted after a Sunday night Twitter post from the president following a segment on CBS’ “60 Minutes” featuring Winfrey.

Winfrey, a “60 Minutes” special contributor, interviewed a group of Michigan voters — half of whom had voted for Trump — about the country’s political divide.

Trump tweeted:

Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2018

Speculation that Winfrey, 64, might make a 2020 White House bid went into overdrive last month after she delivered an emotional speech at the Golden Globes.

Winfrey has denied any political aspirations, saying it’s “not in my spirit.”
