This is true. Oprah grew up incredibly poor. But, she hasn't been poor for a very, very long time. She has a better grasp of what that's like than Trump does, but I think that 40+ year old memories of what it's like to live a hard life is not really a proper substitute for knowing how the average American lives right now.

But it's possible my skepticism about her perception of rich vs. poor comes from her "favorite things" giveaway which invariably includes ridiculously overpriced things and the fact that I once saw a show where she takes a road trip with her best friend and realizes that she no longer knows how to pump gas because she hasn't done it herself for decades.

True, but if we're using 'hasn't been poor recently' and 'out of touch with the average American' as something that should keep people from having the job, we're never going to get somebody with government experience to the job (also no actors).

There is no member of Congress or the rest of the federal government with that experience, because they don't have to worry about where their healthcare is coming from. If they're from Congress, they don't have to worry about their paycheck being hampered by layoffs, furloughs, or government shutdowns, because they get it anyways. It's ridiculous to think that in this day and age, anyone with the necessary experience and/or money is going to have that experience of being a poor person recently or that any poor person is going to be able to run for a high national office.

And lol, pretty of ordinary people don't know how to pump gas. Poor people in cities who don't use cars, older people who just never learned how even though they do drive and have to ask for help or go the gas station where they pump it for you, and wasn't there one state where ordinary people weren't allowed to pump gas until a year or two ago? I'll give you the favorite things giveaway, but pumping gas strikes me as being not the most important part of the average person's experience.

You still cannot pump your own gas in New Jersey or in Oregon.

Oregon actually literally just changed that this year, I think

Only in certain areas of the state at certain times of the day.
