But Trump is still disputing that fact and engaging in a delusional campaign to overturn the election results. His campaign consists <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47592\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">mainly of lies and conspiracy theories<\/a><\/strong> dreamed up by Trump and his pathetic legal team that has lost virtually every case it has brought to court. Not to worry though because, according to Rudy Giuliani, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47625\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">losing is part of his master plan<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s obsession with opposing a peaceful transition is blatantly anti-democratic and un-America. That&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47640\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a position that he&#8217;s actually proud of<\/a><\/strong>. But the necessity of removing him from office, and allowing the orderly transition to a Biden administration is something that Trump&#8217;s sociopathic narcissism prevents him from accepting. Consequently, veteran Fox News Trump-fluffer, Geraldo Rivera, came up with a plan to reward Trump for his childish obstinance:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think I had an idea. With the world so divided and everyone telling him he&#8217;s gotta give up, time to leave, and time to transition, and all the rest of it, why not name the vaccine for Trump? Make it like, &#8216;Have you gotten your Trump yet?&#8217; It would be a nice gesture to him, and years from now it would become just a nice generic name. Have you gotten your Trump yet? I got my Trump, I&#8217;m fine.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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&#8217;d still be waiting into the grim winter for these amazing, miraculous medical breakthroughs.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fox&#39;s Geraldo Rivera says we should honor Trump by naming the COVID-19 vaccine &quot;Trump&quot;, and that Trump&#39;s name could eventually become a generic term for vaccines. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xoO1A37qIZ\">pic.twitter.com\/xoO1A37qIZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bobby Lewis (@revrrlewis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/revrrlewis\/status\/1329775592389152768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 20, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>HOLY CRAP! First of all, America does not negotiate with terrorists. Trump shouldn&#8217;t require this sort of infantile incentive to obey the law and two and half centuries of American tradition. He needs to step aside simply because he lost and has no other choice. His defiance is causing real harm by inciting outrage among his cult followers, some of whom are advocating civil war.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump doesn&#8217;t deserve any reward for the development of a vaccine for a viral pandemic that he exacerbated due to his ignorance, incompetence, and deliberate malfeasance. If Trump is concerned about what he will be remembered for, he can rest on his responsibility for the deaths of more than 250,000 Americans, and more than a million sickened, many with disabilities that are permanent.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ironic that Geraldo would propose this sort of solution to lure Trump out of the White House like diseased skunk that came in through a hole in the screen door. After all, Trump loves to plaster his name on things that he had nothing to do with.<\/p>\n<p>However, naming a vaccine for Trump would only be appropriate if it recognized his role in killing so many of the people he was obligated but failed to protect. His name should be synonymous with the pain and grief he caused. So we could call it the Trump Virus Vaccine. Then people could ask <em>&#8220;Did you get Trump?&#8221;<\/em> And those who weren&#8217;t idiots could reply, <em>&#8220;No. I got vaccinated.&#8221;<\/em> Then all we would need is a vaccine to prevent infections for the disease that causes the mental dysfunction evident in people like Geraldo, his Fox News cohorts, and the lost souls who fall for Trump&#8217;s bullpucky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> News Corpse was notified by Twitter recently that its account would be suspended for repeated violations of their rules.
