Rivera congratulated Trump on Friday after the president wrongly claimed full credit for Pfizer's announcement earlier this month of the more than 90% efficacy of its coronavirus vaccine."As a result of Operation Warp Speed, Pfizer announced on Monday that its China virus vaccine was more than 90% effective," Trump said on November 14."Pfizer said it wasn't part of Warp Speed, but that turned out to be an unfortunate misrepresentation.

Geraldo Rivera visits the Dan Abrams show in November 2018 in New York. He was widely mocked Friday and Saturday for suggesting"The Trump" as the name for a COVID vaccine.The 11th Hour ."You know, Geraldo raises a good point there. It's possible we just don't give the president enough credit for his FDR-like devotion to tackling this virus," Williams said as images of Trump golfing flashed across the screen."His laser-like focus, his daily devotion, the sympathy he's forever expressing to the families of the quarter million dead."

"Even the way the president lectures us in that way to please wear a mask and stop the spread," Williams continued."And he's always advocated injections. Geraldo may be on to something." Williams ended his segment by ridiculing the president's past business ventures."What Trump Steaks did for the hungry, what Trump Water did for the thirsty in our nation, what Trump University did to lift up the uneducated in our country—well, along comes Trump the vaccine."

I was thinking that “Trump Fever” was a better choice for the virus.

follow the money

He’s getting an extra big hug from Fox News

Name the virus after dumbass Donnie. Geraldo has become his industries version of Rudy Giuliani.

So long as the vaccine consists of bleach, it's good call.

In the lunatic fringe, like the expresident Trump.

He has long been pathetic

He has been pathetic for decades. Yet he's still being given a platform to flap his yap.

He needs to go weave baskets somewhere he has Definitely lost his mind

Trump had 4 years to introduce his 'Trumpcare' healthcare plan he promised but failed to deliver. An improvement on the ACA would have been a worthy legacy. Let's just honor Trump by renaming 'lie' as a 'Trump'. That would be more fitting. I'm not Trumping.

Correction: The virus itself should be renamed CovidTrump-45 aka CvdT-45 The vaccine should be called BH-20 BidenHarris - 2020

If the vaccine doesn't work or has sever side effects, that would be a great name

CovidTrump-45 aka CvdT-45 😷😁

I’d be all for naming the virus after Trump

Geraldo has joined trump cult

Geraldo, Geraldo, Geraldo. Trying to stay relevant by any means. I mean, what would you expect from a guy that hosted a tabloid styled reality show. What could you expect from the guy. He's at Fox News..

It should be The Trump Virus.

As he should

Not the only reason he’s mocked

Loser

Geraldo is ok with thinning the American herd because it will help prevent his wealth from necessarily being taxed.

let's call it UNTRUMPED.

We could name the vaccine, Fore, in recognition of all the golfing the Trumpster did while the vaccines were being developed.

realDonaldTrump GeraldoRivera Trump should be 'honored' by having coronavirus/COVID-19 named after him -- it should be called the Trump Pandemic since his poor handling of the crisis and his lack of concern now has caused thousands of deaths ...

No the trump name will go down in history as the worst president and the cause of hundreds of thousands of deaths due to incompetence

Suggesting him as name for Covid-19

How about.. 'Bite Me, Trump'

How does that fit with the Trump administration's position that the virus is a hoax?

Trump wants to get credit for something he said didn't exist. He called a Democratic hoax. Something made up by Democrats to attack him for the election. And republicans agreed, after Nov.3. You won't hear anymore about COVID-19.. Now with 255,000+ American dead. WHO'S LYING!

“The Trump”? Why? Is one of its side effects that it causes mindless conservative media pundits to stick their noses up your ass? 🙄

What about the scientists, the people who did the actual work.

Trump antidote......would be better

Geraldo you sick bastard. What were you thinking.

A screw or two loose—-

TRUMP VIRUS

The Trump works as a name for COVID itself, not the vaccine. TrumpVirus

This hasn't aged well

Too late. Already taken. Russia just agreed to change the name of their vaccine form Sputnik V to The Trump. In Geraldo's words 'as a nice gesture.'

Trump had nothing to do with it.

Narrator - TV anchors were not the only ones mocking him... should have seen his own family...

That’s funny. I can’t think of a more pathetic group than TV anchors. I miss when they presented the news.

GeraldoRivera pathetic is an understatement since Pfizer did all the heavy lifting.

He took too many doses of The Trump.
