    There was also William the third of Orange, who first lived in the Netherlands where he had no wife but a lot of really close friends who would visit him frequent behind closed doors. He eventually married his cousin Mary Stuart and became the king of England and Scotland in 1689.

      William the third of Orange

      Ugh! So close! If only it had been “Donald the third of Orange”. Then it would be one of those things that you see on TV shows, where they tell a story of a really long time ago (in this case the 1680s), and they just use their normal characters to play the roles of historical figures.

      I’m just imagining a Simpsonized version of trump, in 1689 royal garbs, being known as “Donald the third of Orange”.

      sigh

      The jokes write themselves when our president is a joke.
