"I would recommend that they go have a beautiful ceremony, which is good for the brand and good for Miss Universe, and do a co-winner," Trump added.

Earlier, he also tweeted about the pageant. First commending the new owners, and then saying that if he had been in charge, this would never have happened:

Very sad what happened last night at the Miss Universe Pageant. I sold it 6 months ago for a record price. This would never have happened!
