Despite his famous tagline, “You’re fired!” Donald Trump decided to give Tara Conner a second shot instead of stripping the Miss USA title from her.
Donald Trump chooses not to fire Miss USA Tara Conner amid reports she has visited bars, though she is not yet 21. “I’ve always been a believer in second chances. Tara is a good person,” Trump said in a news conference Tuesday. “Tara is going to be given a second chance.”
As part of staying on as Miss USA, Conner has agreed to enter rehab.
Trump said, “until this morning, I didn’t know which way it was going to go.” But upon meeting her in his office, he said that saw her “good heart” and that she “got caught up in the whirlwind that all know as New York.”
“He didn’t have to keep me around,” a tearful Conner said at the news conference.
Motioning to Trump, she said, “He’s a very, very compassionate person, and I obviously learned that today.” I plan on walking out of this being the best USA you’ve ever seen. Thank you, you’ll never know what this means to me. I’ll never let you down.”
The organization’s president, Paula Shugart, said last week that officials would evaluate Conner’s “behavioral and personal issues to see what we can do to work with her and what we will do about her reign going forward.” Another spokewoman said Miss USA is considered a role model, and her conduct must reflect that. Behavior such as underage drinking is clearly prohibited.
How heartwarming.

If Vanessa Williams was stripped of her title for something she did PRIOR TO her reign, Tara Connor by no means should have been allowed to continue as MISS USA. Afterall, she signed a contract specifically stating what was expected of her. Yet she chose a different path. Let’s be fair and have equality for ALL!!!
