LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Donald Trump, the former owner of the Miss Universe Organization, has proposed that Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines should be proclaimed “co-winners” in last Sunday’s Miss Universe pageant.
The Republican presidential candidate was asked by Matt Lauer on NBC’s “Today Show” what his solution would have been following the crowning error in which host Steve Harvey first announced that Miss Colombia had won the pageant, only to reverse himself minutes later, saying that Miss Philippines had actually won.
“I’ll tell you what I think I’d do. I think I’d make them a co-winner (sic). It’d be very cool,” he said.
The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Trump as he was leaving his Trump Towers in Las Vegas today.
We asked him what would happen with a single crown if there were two winners.
“I will donate a second crown. Even if I no longer own the Miss Universe organization, I am happy to resolve this embarrassing situation,” Trump said.
This year’s Miss Universe crown was designed by Diamonds International Corporation (DIC), one of the pageant’s sponsors. It is inspired by DIC’s Czech roots and the pageant’s home base, New York City.
The crown is made up of 33 Bohemian crystals, five blue topaz stones, 198 blue sapphires, and 311 diamonds. It is estimated to cost $300,000.
“The cost for a second crown would be peanuts to me. I’m very rich,” Trump reminded us.
The new owners of Miss Universe, WME/IMG, have not indicated whether they will accept Trump’s suggestion and donation.
