“Little Baron Trump”, a young aristocrat from Castle Trump, is the protagonist of a series of books written by the American novelist Ingersoll Lockwood at the end of the 19th century.e century. With his mentor Don(ald?), a wealthy man who lives on Fifth Avenue in New York, the boy, who bears the same name as the president-elect’s youngest son, travels to Russia for an adventure that will change his life.
Do any details of this story mean something to you? You are not the only one. The series of novels has become the talk of the internet due to their strange parallels with Donald Trump’s rise to power. And this has become the favorite subject of conspiracy theorists, some of whom claim that the Trump family has a time machine since the Republican entered the White House in 2016. Metro media tells us more about this incongruous story.
Although long lost in oblivion, the books were rediscovered in 2017 and dissected from every angle, sparking numerous debates, particularly on TikTok. In the novels, Baron Trump and Don discover a portal to another world, and this is what conspiracy theories have been based on: Could Ingersoll Lockwood have been talking about space-time travel?
Adding fuel to the fire is a theory that the Trump family has been using time travel for many years thanks to the president’s uncle, engineer John Trump. He would have had access to the documents of Nikola Tesla, who, according to the theory, was researching time travel – and whose knowledge helped Trump win the 2016 presidential election.
However, it is the author’s dystopian political thriller titled 1900 or The Last Presidentwritten in 1841, which caused the most controversy. Although it does not feature Baron Trump, it nevertheless presents a number of the strangest parallels (in the eyes of Internet users) with the former and future president of the United States.
A dystopia come true
The plot begins in New York, where the city is in uproar after the unexpected election of a political outsider to the presidency. THE “chic neighborhoods are paralyzed by a nameless terror”while “crowds are organizing under the leadership of anarchists and socialists, and threatening to loot the homes of the rich”we can read in the work. Facts which recall the demonstrations which took place in 2016 following the election of Donald Trump.
That’s not all! “The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to suffer their fury”the novel continues, citing the same New York street where Trump Tower stands today. In the book, the baron even names “Pence” to his cabinet, another coincidence given that Trump’s vice president during his first term was Mike Pence. Well, well, as if by chance… For some, the author would have warned us.
However, conspiracy theorists turn a blind eye to a completely different side of the books: the giant turtles, alternate dimensions and the strange interdimensional beings that we find during the characters’ adventures. Which (among us) casts a slight chill over the (already doubtful) veracity of the theory. Especially since the latest news, time travel unfortunately remains an undefeated feat of human engineering.
