Donald Trump may speak confidently about his goal to โmake America great againโ, but thereโs no concrete evidence that his tumultuous presidency was preordained.
However, when it comes to Barron Trumpโs journey ahead, a handful of Republican conspiracy enthusiasts think they might have some insights.
Over the years, an unusual theory has surfaced that suggests Trump and his family may be โtime travellersโ. This intriguing idea gained traction ever since Trump assumed office in 2017.
Central to this notion is a childrenโs book written in 1893 by Ingersoll Lockwood, an American author and lawyer.
The novel, titled โBaron Trumpโs Marvelous Underground Journey,โ strikes attention immediately because it shares an uncanny resemblance to Trumpโs son, Barron. The bookโs young protagonist, Baron, is an aristocratic child quite like Barron Trump of today.
Interestingly, this fictional Baron is accompanied by his trusty dog, Bulger, and resides in a place whimsically called โCastle Trump.โ
Aside from the name, other parallels abound. The bookโs Baron is mentored by a character named Don Fum โ noted as a โlearned Spaniardโ. Some have pointed out how โDonโ, a Spanish term equivalent to Mr., echoes Donald Trumpโs first name.
This fictional Baron is portrayed as coming from immense wealth, yet he seeks his own path of development, indicating thereโs more to life than just wealth and status.
Even Baronโs fictional journey, which includes a trip to Russia, draws comparisons to Trumpโs real conversations and interactions with Russia, notably with President Putin over Ukraine matters.
Adding to the eeriness, Lockwoodโs narrative seems to predict upheaval and political unrest in Baronโs country.
Perhaps the most striking resemblance lies in the storyโs reference to hidden facts, long-lost civilizations, and whispers of government secrets. Conspiracy followers have speculated these could symbolize real-world government controversies and secrets.
The novel features dangerous creatures and paths beneath the surface, which some equate to Trumpโs promise of addressing the โpolitical swampโ over several years.
Further deepening these curiosities, another work by Lockwood, โThe Last President,โ tells of a New York outsider ascending to command Americaโs destiny. Coincidently, New York is Trumpโs hometown.
In an oddly specific occurrence from the book, social agitation erupts on Fifth Avenue, reminiscent of where Trump Tower proudly stands.
In this story, the newly ascended leader appoints an advisor named Pence in efforts to bring about calm โ Pence being the surname of Trumpโs own Vice President.
As more people encounter these connections, some supporters are convinced these writings are predictions of Trumpโs unprecedented political ascent.
When this theory made its way to social media, enthusiasm was abound. A user on Reddit proclaimed, โToo many coincidences is mathematically impossible.โ Another remarked humorously, โWow, so Back to the Future was real too?โ
