Fox News Host Thinks Trump Deserves Consolation Prize: A Namesake COVID Vaccine | Talking Points Memo

Great idea! Weā€™ll name one vaccine after Trump, one after Obama, and the people can decide which one they want. Winner becomes president for life, and vaccines distributed globally.

It would be more appropriate to name the virus after Trump. You know - ā€œI got Trump and was sick for 6 weeksā€. Or ā€œYeah, my mom died of Trumpā€.

Can we just name injecting bleach after Trump and leave it at that?

When was the last time TPM ran an article on something intelligent a liberal commentator said? Seriously, wanna start to understand why 70 million people still voted for Trump? Because even on supposed liberal news sites only conservatives get reported on. A conservative can get their message amplified no matter how stupid in our media, but liberal voices get no traction.

So yea, a Fox news host said something stupidā€¦ no shit. Perhaps give some space for intelligent liberals for once TPM!

On behalf of a grateful nation, I just named two turds in my toilet Donald and Iwanka. They (orange turd Donald and puffy shiny turd Iwanka) were laying on each other canoodling surrounded by golden fluids. Thatā€™s is all these skanky racist whores deserve.

My 2 cents, rename gonorrhea ā€œthe trumpā€. Weird discharge from my penis, doc. Think I might have a bad case of the Trump.
