Oprah knows exactly how to deal with angry Donald Trump tweets

Sorry guys, but Oprah is definitely not running for president. She's said it before, and she said it again during a Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance Thursday.

"It's a humbling thing to have people think that you can run the country," says Oprah, appearing impressively chilled about the whole thing in the clip above.

"I'm the kind of person who tries to listen to signs. I think, 'Am I supposed to run the country?... I don't think so.'"

Not even angry tweets from the current president can fluster her, in fact.

"You don't win by meeting any kind of negativity head on," she says, explaining that she didn't for "a second" consider tweeting him back.
