'She's a woman. She likes to read. They're the complete opposite!'

Do you think Oprah should run against Donald Trump in the 2020 election? Trevor Noah can see it.

On The Daily Show last night, Noah discussed Sunday's Golden Globes and why Oprah would be the best opponent to face Trump in the next election.

After first addressing a few of the night's other standouts, Noah turns his attention to Oprah's moving Cecile B. DeMille award acceptance speech by saying, "Yes we can! Am I the only one that had that feeling? It feels like this is Oprah 2020." He then explained why she'd make a candidate to take on Trump: "She's black. She's a woman. She likes to read. They're the complete opposite!"

He continues, "I bet if we looked into it we'd find out that Donald Trump once repossessed 100 people's cars." Noah did have one warning for Oprah: "Whatever you do, don't use emails!"

Though the possibility of her entering the race has caused quite the stir on the Internet, at this point, we'll take anything.
