There’s nothing incorrect about donner. You have it in Donnerstag as well.

Except it is? In the original poem it was ‘Donder’.

Well in German it's Donner and Blitz not donder and blitzen

Good point, Thor's Day, god of thunder and lightning. But I noticed if I set Translate to Detect Language and type in donder, it translates from Dutch becoming thunder, but if I type in donner it says it's English and doesn't translate it.

I can see that. The Swedish equivalent to Thunder/Donder is "dunder." The German word is "Donner."
