Donald Trump says he would've fixed the Miss Universe mishap by crowning both women

Donald Trump sold his stake in the Miss Universe pageant earlier this year amid fallout from his racist remarks about Latinos, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the show.

“I think I'd make 'em a co-winner. It would be very cool," Trump told Today on Monday. “What happened to the girl from Colombia is devastating, to give it to her for a couple of minutes and then take it away."
