Oprah Winfrey, the calm, cool, and collected star who is definitely not running for president, has officially responded to President Trump's tweet about her.

After Winfrey's recent 60 Minutes segment where she featured pro- and anti-Trump voters, Trump tweeted that she was "insecure," her questions were "biased and slanted," and her facts "incorrect," before saying Oprah should run so she can be "exposed and defeated."

Ellen DeGeneres asked Winfrey about the tweet on her show on Wednesday, and she basically replied like this:

"I woke up and I just thought..." Winfrey said as she raised her hands in the air. "I don't like giving negativity power, so I just thought, what?"

She then went on to explain how she went back and watched the tape to see if she felt any part of it was slanted or biased. "I went back and looked at every tape. I called the producers... I was working very hard to do the opposite of what I was hate tweeted about so, it's okay."

The two also took time to talk about Winfrey's recent donation to March for Our Lives, the movement started by the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. She pledged $500,000 and told DeGeneres, "This is exactly what happened in the civil rights movement for people like John Lewis and Diane Nash. They were 18-, 19-, 20-years-old, young people who said we have had enough. Enough. And these kids are right there." She also recommended that the students organize and strategize in order to create change: "The reason the civil rights movement worked is there was a strategy, there was a plan."

Winfrey's donation is following in the footsteps of celebrities like George and Amal Clooney, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, who have also donated to the cause.
