Does this technically mean the the little orange freakshow is also a ‘Donald the Great’? He’s technically the most succesful ‘Donald’, as the only one why made it to leader of a country and the only one with diapers and a nussy.
Names only stick if history validates you. Plenty of other rulers ended up getting remembered through the lens of discontent, bad press by who came later, and sometimes mistranslation. Ivan IV Grozny was a ruthless dude, but “Grozny” meant awe-provoking or imposing, whereas in English “Terrible” tends to imply evil. Æthelred II Unræd meant “good counsel”, but as that word fell out of use in English he got stuck with “Unready” because it just happens to be similar in form but not meaning.
Donnie probably wishes he’ll be remembered as something special, but informally Diaper Don will outlive him and I don’t foresee history being gentle with its performance review.
Generally speaking, they got those titles because they were beloved by the people and did great things on behalf of their country. Things no other countryman before or after has done.
Not because they’re literal pieces of shit shoved into a fat suit that are causing untold death, destruction, chaos, and reputational harm to their country of origin.
There’s a reason why there’s no historical monikers for Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Putin, etc.
It’s because they’re pieces of shit that fuck everything up in the world and nobody likes them now.
Guess which category “Orange Mussolini” is in? I’ll give you a hint. The hint is in the phrase “Orange Mussolini”.
