To soften the blow of defeat Fox's Geraldo proposes naming the vaccine after Trump. "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." pic.twitter.com/fM8qwFhxF6

Hey Geraldo - we already have a "Trump Vaccine."

It's called voting.

He's already been honored by naming the #TrumpVirus after him.

Good Lord. How about, "I took a big ol' Trump this mornin'?" https://t.co/wloQZ6jRDD

As in, "I tweeted this while Trumping. (It must have been all the dried apricots. They're orange, too.)"

when my teenage son goes to toilet, he says "I'm going to dump a Trump".

He's already got a virus named after him (The Trump Virus), sure not gonna name the cure after him too.

So, kill 250,000 people by negligence and disinterest and name a treatment for what killed them after the abuser?

Sorry, we already named the pandemic that's killed 250,000 Americans after Trump. That's all he gets. #TrumpPandemic

These the folks that rip Millennials for being soft and requiring participation trophies?

I want everyone who doesn't know this yet to know this now:

Trump's feelings are not our problem. If he feels terrible, that is fine. That is great.

How about using “Geraldo" as a synonym for the worst possible ideas ever proposed? Such as “Whose Geraldo was it to put Rudy Giuliani in charge of your legal affairs?"

I remember him getting hit in the Face with a stupid chair back when he was a Talk Show host..

Brings warm feeling to see his face getting broken over and over again..

Honestly, the people supporting him sound at least as crazy as he does at this point.

Geraldo, I don't think Clorox will be wiling to change the name of their bleach to #Trump's Vaccine. Maybe rename the virus to Trump's Folly.
— Jim M (@JimAex) November 20, 2020

No-one will take the vaccine if it's named after Trump. Geraldo can name his own vaccine injection after Trump if it makes him happy.😬

Geraldo thinking to himself, “How can we ensure half of Americans won't take the vaccine? Eureka!"

When pharmaceutical giant Moderna announced that its vaccine appears to be 94.5% effective in preventing COVID-19 infection, there was a familiar name among the list of research supporters in the New England Journal of Medicine. https://t.co/iaCxmli4Ez

We've already decided that we're naming the vaccine after Dolly Parton, Geraldo, but perhaps we can find a sewer plant or trash incinerator to name after Trump.
— Brian (@Hobbes_Too) November 20, 2020

Geraldo Rivera suggests that the COVID-19 vaccine should be named after Donald Trump.

I suggest that COVID-19 should be named after Donald Trump, and the vaccine should be named after Dolly Parton.
