Two little-known novels from the late 19th century have gained attention for allegedly predicting Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Written by Ingersoll Lockwood, the books have fueled conspiracy theories since Trump’s re-election.

Theories Emerge on Social Media

The theories first gained traction on TikTok, where users compared the events in the novels to Trump’s life. Some pointed out similarities with Trump, his son Barron, and key events from his presidency. Others dismissed the connections as mere coincidence.

The Books: Strange Parallels to Reality

The first book, Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey (1888), tells the story of a young aristocrat named Baron Trump. He lives in Castle Trump and embarks on adventurous journeys with his mentor, Don. One of his quests takes him to Russia. Notably, his full name, Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, suggests German ancestry, much like Trump’s family background.

The second book, The Last President (1896), depicts a chaotic election that leads to protests in New York City. Protesters storm Fifth Avenue, where Trump Tower now stands. These specific details seem to mirror real events, sparking more intrigue.

Time Travel and Prophecies: The Wild Theories

Some believe the author had prophetic knowledge. Others claim Trump himself is a time traveler. This theory is linked to Trump’s late uncle, John G. Trump, a scientist who studied Nikola Tesla’s papers. Tesla was known for his futuristic ideas, adding fuel to the speculation.

Public Reaction

While some social media users are convinced, others reject these theories. They consider the connections between the novels and reality to be pure coincidence.
