Oprah Winfrey has over 25 years of talk-show experience, becoming a world renown figure who even publishes a magazine dedicated to herself.

During the recent 60 Minutes special which aired over the weekend, however, Winfrey refrained from dominating proceedings.

Travelling to West Michigan, Winfrey rounded up 14 voters, evenly split between those who supporter Donald Trump and those who didn’t.

Conducting the group, Winfrey got the group to debate numerous subjects, including Charlottesville, free speech, and Trump’s ‘presidential’ Tweets.

“Every day, I love Trump more and more. Every single day,” one participant, Tom, said.

“I still don't like his attacks, his Twitter attacks, if you will, on other politicians. I don't think that's appropriate. But, at the same time, his actions speak louder than words. And I love what he's doing to this country.”

Conversely, another member of the group called Trump a “horrible President” who has “divided our nation more than it has ever been.”

“When he's off teleprompter, I feel uncomfortable,” Jennifer said. “It makes me feel sick to my stomach. And I think that we look like we're a joke to other foreign leaders. It's an embarrassment."

Meanwhile, many public figures have been outraged by Trump's recent comments on the NFL, John Oliver lampooning the President in the most recent episode of his show.
