Ric Erwin, chairman of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas, called the news “extremely disappointing,” adding: “This was our greatest hope for Christmas 2020, and now it looks like it won’t happen.” In a video posted on Instagram last month, Mr. Quaid said he had interviewed Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for the planned public-service announcement. “I am feeling some outrage and a lot of disappointment” about the unpaid PSA, Mr. Quaid said, which was mistakenly viewed by some as an endorsement of President Trump. He added: “Nothing could be further from the truth.”Mr.
Mr. Caputo said he wanted Santas to appear at rollout events in as many as 35 cities. In exchange, he said the Santas would get an early crack at inoculation.
That is going to be the end of Santa. Next year kids won't want to meet Santa - 'no way! I am not meeting Santa.'
This can’t be real news

Treacherous dealers dealing treachery.
Mark of the beast by vaccine ....... not being able to enter a building, no dr office or grocery store or your apt building unless ...... you can Show that you got the shot
I don’t even think a vaccine is possible in the US because of how shitty the US government is. Just wear a mask and social distance, people make it look hard now in days.
Imaginary vaccine for an imaginary character. More Trumpian nonsense from the blithering idiot POTUS and his Kindergarten of a WhiteHouse. America better show up and vote in this election.
Wait there a multiples Santas Wait performers what’s going on here?!?!!
They better be offering judah macabee the same deal
This is a joke. It has to be a joke. Santa Claus performers are old and fat. With kids coming around with coughs and sniffles, they would certainly be dead of COVID by the time the vaccine is ready. This request is a high crime AND a misdemeanor.
He is grossly attracted to Santas. It is unhealthy.
This cant be real🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
What did I just read right now?
I feel like history will end up referring to this time period as the Postmodern Jackass era. So proud.
It’s not even December yet, calm down chief
Bummer! Another reason to go the mall shot down:(
What on earth....?
Shop online at !!!
These sound like hijinks a cartoon character does to save Christmas. Who is writing this simulation
trump = stupid 🥰
what a fucking clown car
If not a Covid vaccine, at least give them flu shots in November, so they have less chance of catching and spreading the regular 'new strain' of flu.
Oy
What about Hanukkah Harry?
That's pretty sad... They don't have to promote it..
Ho ho ho give me the fucking cure
SANTA IS NOT FUCKING REAL Besides Nobody Wants This NOBODY FUCKING ASKED FOR THIS
Santa will not negotiate with terrorists!!! And by terrorists I mean those on the naughty list. You know who's on the naughty list. VoteThemOut
Oh all Santa clause are quitting their jobs and saying no to the experimental vaccine 💉 🤣🤣🤣
CoachKalamatas
how bout essential workers get early access to the vaccine since we’ve been putting our lives on the line for 8 months
Well, thank goodness our govt is trying to save Christmas and not wasting $ on school infrastructure safety needs, employees, or hospitals!
If not for the verified account I woulda sworn this was an TheOnion story.
I agree we should test these vaccines on pedophiles
With this idiocy... I can’t keep up. Turning Santa Clauses into experimental pharma pushers? Who dreams this stuff up?
AS DUMB AS THIS SOUNDS, there is a substantial number of people who say they won't take the vaccine when it comes out. If it had been available by Christmas (doubtful) a holiday-themed PR campaign is not that crazy an idea to try to increase participation
nathanfielder nice try
Appalling.
Free test subjects....
This is...interesting.
TheValuesVoter Shaking down Santa to own the libs.
That's one way to kill all the Santas.
'HO HO HO, little Billy, a Playstation 5 you say? Well, that sounds nice and all, but how about a rushed RNA vaccine instead? HO HO HO!'
Because just like Santa, Trump is not real kids🤮.
The current administration has made a fucking politicized ad campaign sideshow out of a public health threat, a global public health threat.
What a shitty administration.
Don’t we not have that?
Pretty sure it's because of anti vaccers and to make children feel less scared, I don't really understand why this is such a big deal
WTF?!?
That would have added one hell of a surreal dimension to that yearly New York City Santa bar crawl. I certainly for one would have liked to see that.
What a hack plan. Did a bunch of 3rd graders come up with that?! 😆😂
Wtf? Fuckin Santas get a possible life-saving vaccine just so they can promote it to kids and their parents? Santas gonna be hated if they do that, No parent wants their kid asking for a Covid vaccine for themselves or a family member for Christmas from a Mall Santa
Not as scary as this clown. Watch something entertaining and subscribe!
Who's going to take the job of Santa during a padamaic 🤔🤦♀️
I’m speechless, and yet, not the least bit surprised.
🤨
Lol. 2020 is WILD
Ho Ho Ho. Merry Covidmas everyone. And what would you like for Christmas? A tractor? Not an untrialled vaccine?
Santa is more real than the China Virus
Sure. Why not. This political circus couldn't get any dumber.
Quid Pro Snow
People in power should take the vaccine first — it would be a sign of good faith.
Sounds like Santa just dodged a bullet

This can’t be real.. 🤯
This isn't an Onion article?
Is this real life?
'Ric Erwin, chairman of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas' -
The GOP is really doubling down on the whole protecting old white pedophiles thing.
Fact check
The GOP is really doubling down on the whole helping old white pedophiles thing.
I just...I have no words. You know it's bad when you say to yourself, 'what the actual fuck' and then continue browsing on Twitter like you never read this headline. But like...seriously...w h a t reality are we living in and does anyone have any hacks to get us tf out 😭
SANTA CLAUS 💀💀
Bruh
Not teachers? Not frontline workers? Instead Santa Claus performers? I can’t imagine why this plan was called off... said with much sarcasm.
That’s crazy.
Sounds like a quid-ho-ho to me.
wait can someone say y this is bad?
I really really hate this timeline.
😂😂😂
guess im santa clause now nigga
Healthcare please
He gets the 1st one.
So wall Street Journal wants to cancel Christmas now
TonyTodd54 Just when you thought you heard every dumb idea...someone gives his buddy their beer and proceed to lose their damn fool head!
So the Trump admin offered fictitious characters a yet to be realized vaccine for a disease that they claim is a hoax?!
Disgusting
Freaks
MattOhh2
Claustrophobic
Is this real? LOL
Lmao wtf did I just read.
Uhhhh
clownshow
TonyTodd54
No Lucy you don’t want that new doll. You want the Covid-19 vaccine. Now go tell your mommy!
Bruh 🥴
Why so santa can grow a second head and a irregular sized heart as a defect?
Wtf?
What fresh holiday hell? These people are unbelievable.
If that happen. There might be no Christmas.
Wow. Just wow.
Huh
Imagine a Hallmark movie being made about this.
I'm fine with this. Health PSA's are nothing new and the Santa performers would need it anyway. Win-win. Seems like a good way to get the message out to counter the Biden/Harris anti-vax fear mongering
This is the most yet least surprising headline I’ve read this entire year... I hate it here
what
Great. Zombie Santa’s incoming.
The federal government is a waste of money and needs to be dissolved.
The trump family continuing to try and fuck with Christmas 😑
They weren’t lying when they said they had a plan 😳 AmericaOrTrump WTF
Fake Santa’s selling a non-existent vaccine. Got you.
If SNL doesn't do a bleach flavored candy cane bit with creepy Santa doctors it wouldn't be right.
So the special favors in giving out the vaccine starts!
guys... april fool's passed a long time ago... please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, be joking. please.
WTF is this
I thought at first read of headline that Santa was a euphemism for like, companies that assisted with vaccine trials before December, but it literally it meant Santa performers.
my hard earned money going to this instead of healthcare doesn’t sit right w me
Santa lives in isolation with a bunch of forced-labor children who never get to go home and his wife, how he gonna get covid 💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im dead lmao
SantaCon back on. Thanks Trump You saved Christmas
Illegal discrimination against the Flying Spaghetti Monsters, who need need cash income gigs at malls all across this land, just like the Army of the Santas
this isn’t real right? Teachers: Nothing Santa clause street workers: Vaccination
How would they even know who is or isn’t a ‘santa’? Is there a license? Certification? Costume receipts? I have so many questions
Yet another criminal action by this corrupt and evil (yes evil) administration.
Lmfao wut
Speechless! Maybe they should have thought of that sooner. Santa, Mrs. Clause and elves, be sure you are wearing masks! Trump may be trying to steal your magic!
But biden has dementia, not our current president? Sure.
“Ho ho oh no you don’t!”
TheOnion can't even come up with this shit.
Quid pro quo.
If it was scrapped, what did they do with the 250 Mil?
the hell...
A lot wrong with this administration. FailedLeadership
Congrats to anyone who had 'Santa promoting covid-19 vaccine' on their bingo cards.
Instead of giving it to healthcare workers or teachers? Wth?
I'm a professional Santa working for a Santa booking agency and I never heard of this. The dirty little secret is that a vast majority of Santas are raging Trump supporters. I declined to go to meetings because of that so maybe that's why I missed this nonsense.
That’s your boy WSJ
Santa was almost a paid influencer. Almost.
I believe trying to bribe Santa puts you all on the naughty list, permanently, as we all know.
That’s disgusting but I wouldn’t expect less from these people
...
Melania said 'who gives a fuck about Christmas'
If it weren’t for the combination of mal intent and colossal stupidity of this administration, we might be in much worse shape.
waiting
Stupid *
A madman is running the country. 🤦♂️
You mean there’s more than one Santa?!?!?
The Trump administration really has it out for Christmas.
Maybe now they can direct their Christmas-related efforts toward thinking of a new story for Santa since the North Pole will be ice-free before too long 🤷♂️ climate ClimateChange ClimateStrike ClimateScience FridaysForFuture FossilFuels

Gosh. Spoiler Alert much?
May never see Santa again.
Stupidest idea ever.
Dear Lord, I want to wake up from this farce of a government VoteHimOut2020 Transcript of the conversation between Health and Human Services assistant secretary Michael Caputo and Rick Erwin, the chairman of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas: 🎅🏻
Yikes. Typical Donald.
BUT ITS SANTA
Black Santas too, or does .megynkelly gets to decide?
This sucks. I could have put to good use the 20lbs I've gained the last quarter and the gray hair on my beard..
Heavens forbid: Blackmailing Santa Claus, forcing him to take an unknown substance into his body thru needle so that he can have little children sit on his knee & give them kisses. Did Joe Biden apply for that job yet? What about Hunter?
GOP think tank... “How do we get these idiots to buy shit and teach their dumb kids to believe in magic again like Santa, White Jesus, and trickle down economics”?
She must’ve had final say.
anglicanrichard gdeguzman99 FreeTheWH LaineyRubin TheNakedParty honorayork2 Hoi_Pollois JeffJWarwick 'Are you still a believer in Santa? Because at 7, it's marginal, right?' Trump asked Danny.
Something super sleezy about this. Can’t quite put my finger on it
So, they must be nervous about vaccine acceptance. LOL Of the trump supporters I know, they are also anti vaxers.
I got coal in my vaccine this year :/
Caputo? Thought he was on leave Really, this administration is made up of the biggest fools on the planet. And all kids are going to be disappointed that there is NO Santa Claus. Also, the guy on the phone to Caputo is quite lacking in intelligence, IMO.
I bet he launders money how does he get all of those toys
We already knew it but now it is crystal clear. We do not have a President, we have a showman that runs the country like a reality show. We are doomed if he wins.
I'd go for this deal. Sit around in my red suit in the empty malls & department stores promoting the vaccine to nobody. Sweet.
What the (biggest, gnarliest, most ardent ) fuck !!
* FREE SHIPPING *
Wow, nice to know where my taxes dollars are being spent. Utter stupidity.
They were trying to kill Santas with their warp death vaccine 💉🦠💀
Biden would kill Christmas with lockdowns if he is elected!
trying to save
Lemme leave this here❤️ btw BLM❤️
No, TRUMP offered Santa Claus performers, Not the USA.
Don't do it‼️Don't Do it‼️ It's a trick‼️
IAmDavid131 stop running a newspaper
psc101
Wait, I thought Repubs were all about Jesus. Why are they promoting Santa Claus, who was derived from plenty of non-Jesus mythologies.
ddale8 Wow what a fantastic great plan Donny!!!!
Had to make sure I wasn’t clicking on a story from The Onion. Sweet Jesus.
An administration of absolute 🤡 🤡 🤡
Media has become more crazy than him now. Unreal.
Just one shit show after another when it comes to the Trump administration. Bring back the grown-ups!
Ho Ho Huh? 🎅🏻
Under normal circumstances I would think no way! This is fake news but honestly under the current administration this seems to be on par with everything else they are doing.
This is so stupid on a whole new level.
What an ass ho ho ho trump is
I thought this was a headline from The Onion.
Paging David Sedaris
There is a time for magical thinking--this isn't it.
This makes soooo much sense....if your a deranged lunatic!! So, old dudes play 'santa.' No old dudes want to die from being exposed to covid by hundreds of children. Give Santa the vaccine first!!! Save Santa, Save Christmas!!!! Totally Trump's brainchild.
If there are staff members that can claim this idea than we are in SO MUCH TROUBLE.
Wow! Just when I didn't think anything else Trump could do would surprise me.
he was just hoping to get the real Santa in the crowd of impostors because then distribution would be so much easier..
Are you serious? The GOP is this desperate? WearAMask WearAMask
Aren’t you embarrassed?
We pay these people
They will stoop to anything.
Trump ruins Xmas
Mall Santas are basically a bunch of people picking up a part time gig for holiday money. THEY AREN'T REALLY SANTA!
SerMM91 normal administration 😂
JFC
This is a very strange idea. Were the Santas only red state Santas? Better if they were competitors in same cities or states. “Trump Santas are safe Santas. Safe Santa ads outdoor spring up on billboards in every city with with thanksgiving parade.. especially Macy’s NY.
That time when bad reporters don't try to hide it.
Who's grand idea was this?
Bruh
Lol that’s stupid...
What can one even say at this point?
Literally what?
Is this from the Jeffrey Epstein Module at Trump University’s masterclass in creepy AF
leeder899 Omfg.
We’re still doing Xmas this year?
This has to be a rejected Veep script right?
WTAF? I read this earlier and thought it was satire. Could these people get any stranger?
Thought this was fake... has to be, right? Mall Santa? I thought kids were immune... You wanna get at your target demographic you should advertise through bikini baristas and strippers... that’s where you find old, white, Republican men... guaranteed.
realDonaldTrump wants kids to die from contact with Santa, still not understanding how covid19 is spread
Trump = incompetent & corrupt
Hahahaha this is something I expect to see in an episode of The Office, a wild idea from Michael Scott
Wow the story is just like the title. Madness
What in the h*ll? TrumpAdministration wanted to use Santa & Mrs.Claus & their elves as guinea pigs to take their way-too-early COVID vaccine Uhhh, and this came out of the badly-broken 'mind' of MichaelCaputo? Is this a new sci-fi series?
OMG this is peak idiocy. Rather than actually trying to strategically deal with this health and economic crisis the DT Badministration was trying to bribe Santa
I assume all Black, Muslim, Jewish, LBGTQ, Immigrant, and Blue-State Santas are ineligible for the program. (I can see Trump wailing about how the blue-state Santas are causing vaccine delays & the Black Santas are 'thugs' and 'symbols of hate.') Probably good cancelation.
Yes ahaha wouldn’t it suck if we modified culture to distribute a vaccine anyway did you hear who hulk is voting for?
Is Rudolph a co-conspirator? If Donny started Santagate, then he needs to be removed from the office for good. If he didn’t, he still needs to go! DumpTrump
wait what
WTF?
This is so Trump... fckn nuts.
Ookay
WTF? You just can't make this stuff up...

What?!?!
I saw this on the BBC earlier. But we will all be vaccinated by Election Day?

JFC.
What happens to the $250 million of taxpayer money now that it's been canceled? Does it go into the administration's pocket?
HappySYFY Chris_Meloni This you?
The best part about this is that the people visiting mall Santas this year are the people least concerned with having a vaccine
Smells like desperation to me.
Wut
Not the Onion... ?
Today, because of an Oompa Loompa with a pituitary problem, I learned that there’s a union of Santas where having a real beard is a membership requirement. This year ain’t letting up, yo.
JonLemire Zombie SantaClaus, coming to you soon, thanks to Trump.

Wow!!! Bribing Santa. Vaccine distribution based on reciprocity! THIS IS CRAZY!!!
I'm still surprised on how I made so many profit after seeing many person's complaining of being scammed, this is just too amazing. Am still shocked thanks nancyhughes37
Was Megyn Kelly involved in the negotiations?
What the ever loving frack?
What? I'm pretty sure he forgot to check with evangelicals. They don't like Santa.
I just don’t understand how this even works. Is there an internal logic?
JFC.😑
...
WTF? REALLY Can't believe it's already Christmas. Was just January.
hello good evening, click my name, please.
Do... Do they think they need to market a vaccine that would help reinstate some level of normality? Are they that out of touch?
Everything is a quid pro quo with these criminals.
Imho A safe Vaccine won't be here til July 60% effective You will still need to wear a mask Trumpbodycount werewithstupid
This sounds like a good plan why has it been called off?

Only in trump’s world.....
Question: can this administration be any more depraved, or should we be expecting worse? Oh right, children in cages kidnapped from their parents.
This government has officially gone insane.
I believe that I have finally seen the dumbest thing out of this President. The competition was stiff, but this tops all the dumbest things ever!
'What do you want for Christmas?' 'A toy truck...' 'and a COVID19 vaccine Ho ho ho, seriously, kid, take one'
This is a joke, right?😬
Wut?
That's some solid The Onion material
Fuckin weirdos
WTF?
maggieNYT The best people.
Fake
wonder why
Imagine being so horrendously evil and bad that you literally have to bribe santa to stop by your place
So, basically a barely sober but super creepy mall Santa goes around saying, “Come here, little girl. Roll up your sleeve. I promise it won’t hurt.”
This can’t be real.
gtconway3d When visiting Santa during a pandemic, it's important to practice proper hygiene. Always use Santi-Wrap.
Yikes
I beg your pardon? Fucking what?
Hahahahaha now this sounds like something the Trump administration would do.
The whole Trump administration is like a bad SNL skit😂😂😂
Are you sure Trump didn’t say “have Santa deliver it?” I bet he thought he could get doses all over the world on December 24th by morning of the 25th? 🤣
But do you get a candy cane with your vaccination?
And to think this is the best spin they could put on it. This probably originated from trump saying Santa would give him a vaccine for Christmas.
Not even The Onion is this ridiculous.
This is extremely sad and dangerous..
When does stupidity become a crime?
Is this a joke?
TRUMP kills Santa Claus.
Now we have what? SANTAGATE? These people really are demented.

The people leading this country, starting with Trump and the family that he hired, are complete clowns. Their ideas are simply moronic and I'll conceived on every metric.
This is a joke - right?
What
Is it because Santa is as fake as the tяump vaccine is at this point? Now, here is a thought.... Why not have real doctors promote the real vaccine when it is ready? JustSaying
nathanfielder, did you have something to do with this? 🤔
“....Who gives a fuck about Christmas stuffs?”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And they will all be required to wear super man shirts under their Santa suits.
ddale8 It's 'OFF' all right.
What?😳
HOLY WOW. This is crazy and yet so on brand for them.
I don’t even understand what’s going on here...
What if... Abraham Lincoln cosplayers?
I know I get all my medical advice from mall Santas.
If you want to help Santa, here’s what you can do
realchrismaggio coulda been the follow up
I’m sorry I criticized Dennis Quaid before knowing more about the story. He wants to help so he volunteered his time for a public service announcement. Under a normal administration, not possible with this inept incompetent facile flop of futility, a PSA to give hope makes sense.
I have finally officially HEARD IT ALL now. You can't surprise me. Go ahead. Try. SMFH

Ho! Ho! Ho-ly shit!!!

What ?
Hey its Christmas. Why didn't the Trump administration just ask Baby Jesus to promote Trump's nonexistent COVID-19 vaccine? 'The wise man President Trump will bring you Gold, Frankincense and a vaccine.'
Wait, what?

Talking to smart people about interesting topics is one of the real benefits of being in Bitcoin. Thanks nancyhughes37 I got it big this time. I'm grateful. I got a huge profit's investing under her management.
We are officially living the Onion headlines in some sort of Truman Show reality show.
Would have been so much more on brand had they chosen Mickey Mouse instead.
Politics aside, honestly, this was actually a pretty damn good idea (provided it was actually ready). The ad campaign is beyond idiotic but we WILL need a lot of ideas like this to help people buy in to the vaccine.
I did not have mall Santas or Borat exposing Rudy on my bingo card. This is where we are, America.
Has anyone checked on the $250 million of tax payer money that did not result in actual ads? Where is Caputo?
It's always a Quid Pro Quo with the Impeached President Trump.
What?
Did santa pay his taxes?!
Huh?
There is no bottom.
Trump is even trying to corrupt Santa Claus!

Is this the Onion? And performers portraying Santa, Mrs. Claus and elves are essential workers over teachers and grocery workers?
gtconway3d Was this hicks’ idea?
Imagine writing this story with a straight face.
Um...what?
How the hell is Santa Claus an 'essential worker'?
Not to mention - are malls even having Santa clauses this year?
This is an SNL sketch, right? This can't be reality.
The plan was cancelled when Melania caught wind of it and barked ' who gives a shit about Santas'
'Ric Erwin, chairman of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas, called the news “extremely disappointing,” Had to read that line a few times. Time for a Real Bearded Santas rabbit hole. 🐰
This is like something Ivan Ooze would think of.
gaj724 GOP will net black coal tar in their stockings. I intend to hire a pixie with a grudge to follow Santa down the chimneys and load manure in their bathtubs and set fire them.
Bury the lede: there is a Fraternal Order of Bearded Santas!?
That Haledon collider knocked us into a different dimension.
More war on Christmas. Melania says fuck Christmas.
I’m sorry.....what? US govt tried to bribe Santa with taxpayer money to promote a COVID-19 vaccine? There truly is no bottom.
maggieNYT To think they were going to waste $250 million that could have been used toward combatting the virus on giving us happy horseshit. VoteTrumpOut
maggieNYT We are just aren’t stunned any more by the idiocy and corrupt dealings of all things Trump - but that’s on us not him - he is just being who he is, then now and always
I. Can't. Even. WTH?
ddale8 First smart thing the HHS has done!
Why does this sound like a C rated movie plot 😫😫😫😫
one can only hope that if the WSJ is getting clued in to what this administration is up to, others will begin to see it. is the titanic finally sinking? StopTheMadness Vote VoteBlue2020
gtconway3d Y’all commenting not realizing this tweet is satire
Is this from a fake news rag?
What a time we live in
maggieNYT Tough sledding for Santa! Would love to hear other brilliant Caputo ideas.
Now we have Santagate.
williamlegate This probably also included an NDA.
He’s literal mentally insane 😃😄
What? OMG! I'm not injecting anything into my body that's coming from this Murderous Administration. I'm allergic to several standard meds. I guarantee you they are NOT thoroughly testing for effectiveness and safety.
Elect a clown expect a circus.
What in the actual fuck is this?
Another Stable Jenius plan cooked up by Kushner? These people are disgusting. VoteThemAllOut
What kind of a dick thinks it's a good idea to have Santa Clause jabbing kids on his lap?!?!?!? Or even talking about it when they are there to talk about PRESENTS?!? This is right out of 34th Street!!! Trump acting like the evil CEOs of course, ffs.
From the brilliant minds of the people who think Starbucks removing merry Christmas from their cups is a 'war on christmas' I am so tired....
What.
Truly this administration is the misfit toyland personified ByeDon2020 VoteHimOut2020
gtconway3d
Once again, another Vixen denies this administration.
JFC
Megyn Kelly-approved Santas only, one presumes...
Unqualified. Incompetent. Corrupt 🧚🏾♂️
Oh my lord. This administration is literally a circus. Without the discipline.
Dear writers of SHO_Shameless, we need Santa Frank.
This is the way taxpayer money is being spent.
😳😳😳
Early access to vaccine promises are exactly the way grifter in chief 'works'

He knows when you’ve been wheezing.
not surprised the idiot behind this is michael caputo.
maggieNYT I'm a santa claus and I didn't hear this. Tim Allen says that's bull$!%
'Help us, Santas!' exclaimed Trump, face full of fried chicken.
Y'all got any of that Snake Oil?
There is something seriously wrong with these goons.

gtconway3d Is this what prompted Trump to bring up Christmas at stores, for the first time in months? Bc some lackey shared this plan with him? A total 🎪 show...
Fuck the Easter Bunny right?
One hardly knows what to say about this
Not on my bingo card.
Leave Santa’s alone
Was it only for white Santas?
Donald is so desperate he’s praying for that ‘miracle’ he keeps mentioning at his maskless, zero distance super spreader Covid-Rallies unfit

This is what happens when government is run like a business.
Trying to bribe Santa is where I draw the line.
WHY IS THIS LIFE?

The 2020 writers room is off the chain y’all!!
Dirty Santa 🎅
JonLemire Seriously thought this was a story from the Onion
This just seems like an ill-conceived episode of Celebrity Apprentice.
maggieNYT Every time I think I can no longer be surprised, he does something unbelievable... this must end
Omg. I cannot wait until this season of The Apprentice is cancelled.
gtconway3d
Corporate type marketing from the US government? EndCitizensUnited. It gave corporations the rights of People so corporations $$ could influence/manipulate lawmakers. This was only 12yrs ago. Since, we see more corporate rule & less of the Peoples voice being heard.
So now we have 🎅 SantaGate? 🎅 💉 Did not see that coming! 🎅 🤶 🧝♂️ Were the Dancing Reindeer 🦌 excluded from the deal for which Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Elves we’re being considered to promote a future vaccine? SantaGate2020 🎅 Santa 🎅☝️☝️☝️
ryanjreilly *COVID Panic Brainstorm: Hour 26* Guys, what if we turned Santas into marketing guys for a chance at survival? *Room goes quiet*
I bet Melania put the kybosh to that whole fuckn thing!
Perry04005 good lord
Wowowowow o wow
FINALLY !!! A Trump healthcare plan ! Provide Healthcare for Santa and the Elves.
ELF LIVES MATTER!!!
*Santa actors* willing to lie to America about a COVID COVID19 coronavirus vaccine on behalf of a desperate Trump would get first dibs on it. Sooooooo... Trump values lying mall Santas over doctors, nurses, EMTs, and other HeroesBehindTheMasks FrontLineHeroes VOTE
The plan was halted when Melania said, 'Who gives a f'k about the Christmas?'
JAMackinn let’s make sure to remember this one.
This reality shit show is just about over.
willmenaker wut
I really need to know who raised this as a legit idea. Was this realDonaldTrump ‘s idea personally?
White House officials have since extended this offer to carnival barkers and sideshow performers, and are awaiting a response
I seriously can’t tell whether or not this is satire.
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Seriously, WTF!
Ho, ho, huh?
ddale8 Was he tryna Quid Pro Quo Santa
maggieNYT Lol, wut?
Very odd - also do they know Santa Claus isn’t real?
Trump’s QuidProQuo with Santa.
This is too many shades of creepy.
From the diseased minds of the Trump administration.
maggieNYT What
lol you're funny good joke, america i really think you're sooooo funny so super duper fucking funny
Would have been Caputo’s Covid dream taken to the streets.
This is so bizarre.
Let’s make this stop, please, in 10 days. If not, COVID19 wins and Trump would’ve killed us all.
I guess they did have a plan after all.
'Who gives a fuck about the Christmas stuff?'

Good God- like I’ve been saying for 4 years— television has finally ruined the USA—60 million people voted for a character from a television show-
ddale8 What.
excuse me
ddale8 People cannot buy food for their children, cannot pay their rent, are out of work and Trump and his idiots in the administration are totally insane with this ridiculous idea.
Santa’s helpers are already feeling feverish.
‘rump’s mother should’ve swallowed him. The world would’ve been a much better place!
What the fuck? Is this even legal?
White Christmas Privilege.
gtconway3d
ddale8 What elf are they gonna do?
There's a Fraternal Order of Bearded Santas? Who knew?
It seems Santa isn't as greedy and selfish as the Trumps
ddale8 So now the Santa’s group wants social distancing and other standard precautions for their events. But when they thought they’d have exclusive early access to a covid vaccine they were just fine w/ large in person events — despite knowing their audiences would not be vaccinated.
ddale8 This means they know there’s no chance of a vaccine before Christmas
What
wow so happy taxpayers are funding this insanity
TheyAreTrulyPathetic
okay shut up no way ... yes way?
Santas got that good good?
ddale8 You CANNOT make this sh*t up.
The lowest of lows. ThecGrinch before his heart grew too!

'We're saying 'Merry Christmas' again because of me.'
Black cats officially spray urine on that!🤬🐾
The vax santa campaign was going to be in 10-35 states.....all red states, right. Let the blue states have Covid Clause? Trump sucks.
ddale8 If Trump gets elected again, he most certainly will steer the vaccine to those who support him.
ddale8 Omg, they kare going to great lengths to get back in, even Santa Claus doesn’t want Trump’s pushed vaccine, wait for the CDC fully tested and approved vaccine.
ryanjreilly Except we all saw it coming. BidenHarris2020
maggieNYT Geez. It's not even a good reality show we're living.
Trump’s secret COVID weapon is checks notes Santa. 😳
ddale8 Wait... wuuuuut?
WordswithSteph THIS is their priority?! I don't know which is more appalling, their lack of judgement or their utter stupidity.
So who's the one cancelling Christmas ?
maggieNYT Meanwhile, Mark Meadows says this this morning. My dog was already sitting at my computer typing out an ad script for the Biden camp when I came down to make coffee this morning.
maggieNYT ewhitak what in the actual fuck
scamardo if you wrote this in a script just three years ago, they've thrown you out of the union.
gtconway3d Quid pro hohoho
What?
WTF?
Santa was reportedly going to ask kids if they were naughty or negative
So wait...wait... Trump just pulled a Trump on SANTA CLAUS? Oh, some Naughty List mojo is coming your way, Donnie. You get your OWN LIST. FuckAroundWithSantaAndFindOut ProjectLincoln SteveSchmidtSES
gtconway3d I think while we're all panning this concept, it needs to be stated that somebody came up with it, that person is an idiot who thinks they're smart, and they need to be kept away from a public service job.
Is this from Weekend Update? On SNL? Please, dear god, tell me it is

GarlicCorgi this is Trump's cuban missle crisis lmao
The US is so broken. What moron came up with this idea? Name him so he can go find a new job.
Forty percent of America is going to vote for this because 40% is the number of complete cretins in the country. Meanwhile, in the real world, America's had two days of record case numbers because Trump has given up entirely and is letting the pandemic rage unchecked.
Trying to corrupt Santa!? Trump is now officially the bad guy in every hallmark family xmas film.
maggieNYT When POTUS concluded he could kill someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it, he decided to take it to another order of magnitude by killing hundreds of thousands on streets all over the United States of America!
Crazy Caputo's plan .. go figure
donaldonethics Is this satire?
Bribing Santa with early vaccine access wouldn’t have cost 250 million dollars... so what are they doing with the money?
Americans: we are struggling! need a stimulus package, increased testing, free vaccines for everyone, help for businesses, etc Trump: how about Santa advertisements? And Santa will get the vaccine & testing you desperately need. TRUMP SAID HE DIDNT CARE...BELIEVE HIM!!!
Please stop this ridiculous idea of santa BS
maggieNYT Why is the Trump Administration waging a war on Christmas?

Yall are joking, be foreal

I look forward to the day that the only job Trump and his cronies can get is talking up kitchen gadgets on QVC.
The Santa Clause is getting a Blumhouse reboot, I see
You can make a mobster president, but you can't make a president out of a mobster. Elections have consequences - VOTE.
gtconway3d Tell this to all the Trump enablers who write your Op Ed pieces. 🤪
How interesting of an ethics report! The bioethicists like BurgartBioethix that I know may have suggested giving to frontline HCW or the most at-risk individuals, instead!
Americans: we are struggling! need a stimulus package, increased testing, free vaccines for everyone, help for businesses, etc Trump: how about Santa advertisements? And Santa will get the vaccine & testing you desperately need. Trump said he didn’t care..believe him!!
maggieNYT Should this be claus for concern?
“Nobody gives a fvck about no Christmas stuff.” “Now, under Trump, you hear Merry Christmss again!” “Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas little girl! If you don’t want to be taken away from your mommy and daddy you should tell them to get the TrumpVacine (tm) or you’ll be an orphan”

See guys....Trump had a health care plan all along...
That’s actually not the worst idea out there!
The Sesame Street letter of the day is D...as in Desperate 🤣
