Who doesn’t like a good conspiracy theory, even if it’s just to scoff at? Well, this is the craziest one we’ve heard in a long time and while we don’t believe Donald Trump’s son Barron Trump is some sort of time-travelling wizard, it’s certainly a peculiar coincidence.
The internet has unearthed some 19th century novels by Ingersoll Lockwood, an American children’s and political author, which feature a boy named Baron Trump.
Lockwood wrote two children’s books titled ‘Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey,’ and ‘Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulgar,’ as well as even more freakily, ‘The Last President.’
Already, a bit weird. It’s not like Barron/Baron is a common name. Or Trump for that matter!
The books follow the aristocratic boy’s adventures and he also has a mentor. A mentor called Don…
DON is the Baron Trump’s mentor in the books.
But the creepy parallels don’t end there.
The wealthy boy (who lives in ‘Castle Trump’) goes on an adventure to none other than that country of President Trump’s current contention: Russia.
Newsweek reports little Baron is bored by his life of luxury and has an active imagination and a very active brain.
Crazy coincidence? Or, perhaps Donald Trump deliberately named his son after the fictional character?
Conspiracy theorists are now making outlandish claims about the Trumps being time-travellers.
But we reckon the author could’ve been serving us some Nostradamus-type predictions. Because… Lockwood’s final novel arrived in 1896, titled ‘The Last President’.
The story begins with rioting in New York City after the election of an enormously opposed outsider candidate wins the US election.
“The entire East Side is in a state of uproar,” police officers shouted through the streets, warning city folk to stay indoors for the night. “Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of anarchists and socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years.”
“The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob,” the novel continues, the address in New York where Trump Tower now stands.
Now THAT is freaky!
