Geraldo plan to name COVID-19 vaccine after Drumpf is like naming steak knives after Jack the Ripper

Geraldo Rivera’s proposal to name a COVID-19 vaccine after Donald Trump is like naming a set of steak knives after Jack the Ripper

For a guy who’s been thrice married, you’d think Trump would know when to grab an overnight bag and pack his toothbrush, bronzer and Superman Underoos. Instead, he’s smashing the good china, threatening revenge porn and vowing to burn down the house while holed up in the attic with jilted tears: “If I can’t be with America, no one can!”

In recent days, the correspondent-at-large for Fox News — that’s like chief dishwasher at Panda Express — has tried his darndest to be a responsible go-between. He’s heaped praise on his friend. He’s encouraged Trump to accept loss with grace and dignity.

But since none of that is working, Geraldo has a new plan.

“Why not name the vaccine ‘The Trump’?” he wondered aloud on “Fox & Friends,” as the three co-hosts stared into the cameras with blank expressions. “Make it like, ‘Have you gotten your Trump yet?’ No, it would be a nice gesture to him. And years from now, it would become just a kind of generic name: ‘Have you got your Trump yet?’ ‘Yeah, I got my Trump. I’m fine!’ I wish we could honour him in that way.”

That would honor his covid legacy more appropriately. He made an end run around the scientific method and loudly championed this drug against a chorus of dissenting educated opinions (as contrasted by his hedged support of vaccines).

Trump deserves singular credit for every single life saved by that drug.
