Monarchs and rulers from long ago can have their personalities, features, and beliefs summed up so that us normal folk centuries later can understand a bit about them, in names like "Louis the Universal Spider" or "Charles the Bold" or "Robert the Bruce." I know there is an effort to get Pope John Paul II termed "Pope John Paul the Great," although I know of few other modern rulers to get the same treatment. If you wanted to sum up the rule of US presidents with a simple term to be added to their name, what would you call them?

Here are some:
Lincoln the Great
Kennedy the Handsome
Nixon the Crooked
Obama the Chill

We considered this idea over on AH.com, actually. My favorite was William the Lustful.

Though for Trump, I'd go for "Donald the Quarrelsome".
