Trump is all wet on this one.
Miss Philippines trained, earned and won the contest. A hired comedian goofed on naming the names, and her title should not be blemished and demeaned by taking half of it away from her because of someone else's error.
There sure are a bunch of sob sisters on this thread, worrying that the Numero Dos is SO HURT by this that she'll never recover...and that she should be given half of what she doesn't deserve because some comatose emcee erred in his announcement.
Life is NOT fair. Perhaps a genuine blow, as in this case, is something everyone faces in this tough world and then has to cope with.
For some reason, this reminds me of the old story about the liberal world, kids can play dodge ball in school gym but they can't hit anybody because someone might get "hurt". So, there's no more dodge ball and kids sit at the computer for hours instead. No one should ever be "hurt", you see.
The winner should have an untainted crown. Pay Miss Columbia off handsomely to heal her hurt and send her on her way. She'll make lots of money touring the world as the "Queen for a Minute" and will end up marrying a rich oil baron.

BINGO!!!
Well said in 77.
“... Pay Miss Columbia off handsomely to heal her hurt and send her on her way ...”
Sort of like Americans having to pay slave reparations, eh?
