Geraldo Rivera Suggests Naming the Vaccine After Trump to 'Honor Him' and Even Fox News Host Scoffed

Geraldo Rivera Suggests Naming the Vaccine After Trump to 'Honor Him' and Even Fox News Host Scoffed
Fox News

In an appearance on Fox and Friends, Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera suggested a consolation prize for President Donald Trump after his recent popular vote and electoral vote loss in the 2020 election: naming the virus vaccine "Trump."

His suggestion, however, seemed to draw an audible scoff from Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy who understandably figured Rivera was joking.


Narrator: he was not joking.

Rivera stated:

"I had an idea, with the world so divided and everybody telling [President Donald Trump] he's got to give up, and it's time to leave, and the time to transition and all the rest of it, why not name the vaccine 'The Trump'."
"You know, make it like: 'Have you got your Trump yet?' You know, it'd be a nice gesture to him, and years from now would become just a kind of a generic game. 'Have you got your Trump yet now?' 'I got my Trump. I'm fine'."


Despite the looks on the faces of Doocy and Earhardt...

...Rivera kept speaking.

"I wish we could honor him in that way because he is definitely the prime architect of this Operation Warp Speed. And but for him, we'd still be waiting into the grim winter for these amazing, miraculous medical breakthroughs."

People online were no more receptive to Rivera's suggestion than his colleagues on Fox News.











Some focused more on the messenger than the message.






While some let Rivera know the vaccine already had a name and someone more deserving of the honor.



So far Rivera has found little support for his proposal. Whether it will eventually catch on with President Trump's most ardent fans remains to be seen.

Charli XCX Has Perfect Response After Jason Bateman Pushes Back On Her Desire Not To Have Kids

During a recent appearance on SmartLess, Charli XCX found herself fielding a familiar—and pointedly personal—question: whether she plans to have children.

The podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, prides itself on casual conversation. But that looseness drew criticism as the discussion veered into Charli’s reproductive choices, which is a decision that listeners noted the hosts rarely press younger male guests to defend.

Figure Skater Shares Hopeful Update After His Popular 'Minions' Routine Was Banned Just Days Before Olympics

Minions… on ice? That was the plan for Olympic figure skater Tomás-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté, who hoped to bring a dose of animated absurdity to the 2026 Winter Olympics with a Minions-inspired routine set to music from the 2015 film. Instead, just days before the Games, the crowd-pleasing program was abruptly pulled.

The Catalan skater had used the music throughout the season without issue after purchasing the required permissions under International Skating Union (ISU) regulations. Thanks to its playful originality, the routine had become one of the most anticipated men’s short programs heading into Milan-Cortina.
