Oprah responds to Trump's 'insecure' comment: 'I don't like giving negativity power'

Oprah has weighed in on Donald Trump calling her "very insecure" in a recent tweet, following her "60 Minutes" segment about the presidency.

“I woke up and...I don't like giving negativity power, so I just thought, 'What?'" Winfrey told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show on Thursday.

On Sunday, the "Wrinkle in Time" star appeared on CBS’ “60 Minutes” leading a discussion about the 2016 election with 14 people from Grand Rapids, Mich. Half of the people from the group voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election, the other half did not. The same group was interviewed on the program last year.

"One year into Donald Trump's presidency, Americans remain divided, often unwilling to listen to what the other side has to say," Winfrey said.

After the special aired, Trump took to Twitter to share his reaction about the segment.

“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,” he tweeted, then addressed the rumors of Winfrey's 2020 presidential bid. “Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!”
