Geraldo Rivera Wants to Name Vaccine After Trump

November 20, 2020 at 8:59 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Geraldo Rivera suggested on Fox News that we name the coronavirus vaccine after President Trump to soften the blow of his election defeat.

Said Rivera: “It would be a nice gesture to him and years from now it would become kind of a generic name. Have you got your trump yet, I got my trump, I’m fine. I wished we could honor him in that way.”

Considering that OrangeLoser just isn't comprehending, the blow needs to be harder, not softer.

And why should a vaccine be named after the idiot who STILL insists that COVID-19 is basically nothing?!

After all that abuse? Does Geraldo have Stockholm Syndrome? Most of us want to forget he ever existed, not ask each other if we had our trump. I mean, that's more like a trigger.

We should name a garbage dump after him, but that might not be fair to garbage.

against, doesn't exist?

That just legitimizes Trump's style of talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Millions more sick from the Trump.

something on the sidewalk that you should try not to step in.

Of course, if it's a vaccine that doesn't work for anything, then the name is perfect.
