Miss Universe Kenya, Esther Were faced a backlash on social media for failing to correctly answer a question on the US President Donald Trump in the Miss Universe pageant.
The question was directed at her by Celebrity TV show host Steve Harvey, during the pageant held in Manila, Philippines.
"Arguably no US president has had 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?"
She took a long pause before answering the question as she fumbled.
"Politics.... ahh OK let me just start again. Donald Trump, have 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. 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," she said.
