Miss Kenya, Mary Esther Were, went on a bizarre rant when asked to comment on Donald Trump’s Presidency during the 65th Miss Universe pageant, which just wrapped up in the Philippines. Miss France, Iris Mittenaere, took out the title.
“Arguably no US president has had a more active 10 days in office. What are you most excited about and what concerns you when it comes to the Presidency of Donald Trump?” asked host Steve Harvey.
Miss Kenya responded: “Politics ... ahh OK let me just start again. Donald Trump, having been elected as the President of the United States, may not have been the choice of many people living in the United States because of the divided support system for the outgoing President Barack Obama, who has supporting an upcoming woman President ... who was supposed to be a woman President Hillary Clinton,” she said.
“So, so many people oppose his position. But I feel that once [Trump] took up his position, he was able to unify the entire nation.”
Meanwhile, the winner of Miss Universe will immediately move to a luxury apartment in New York City, which will be her home base while she spends her reign traveling the globe, developing and representing her platforms, and raising awareness and funds for charitable initiatives.
