"The Doge was the oldest and highest political position in the Venetian Republic. [He was] usually elected from the oldest and MOST DESERVING OF VENETIAN NOBILITY – did represent the State, and had various very important symbolic functions regarding both the authority and splendour of the Republic. The Doge was the only Venetian authority TO HOLD OFFICE FOR LIFE." (Whoa! That last sentence will REALLY get to the orange sadist!!!)
I did a crossword puzzle this morning, and found the word "doge". I knew it had to do with an important position, but wasn't sure what.)
I thought this was the origin of DOGE. Reviewing this site, maybe we should suggest this as a fact to DJT. It would drive him around the bend. https://palazzoducale.visitmuve.it/en/the-museum/doges-palace/the-doge/
