“Donaeld the Unready” is the unenlightened monarch of your nightmares.
A parody Twitter account imagines President Donald Trump as “the best early medieval King out there.” He repeatedly vows to “Make Mercia Great Again” while throwing shade on King Canute, the Danes and “bad monk Bede.”
It’s unclear who’s behind the account, which began tweeting on Saturday and garnered more than 21,000 followers in its first 72 hours.

Canute. What a loser. Can't even hold back the sea. It's just water. We're going to be so tough on the sea. Canute was too soft. Sad.

My intelligence tells me the Danes are using the Fens to train as gorilla warriors. SERIOUSLY BAD! We need to drain the Fens. Time to act!

So called Bishop of Lichfield says Christians should be humble. I'm so humble, I'm the best at being humble. All my thegns know that.
