Trump Sparks Bizarre Time Traveller Theory After People Spot Disturbing Detail in 1800s Book
Donald Trump’s confident pledge to “make America great again” may not have been preordained, but some conspiracy theorists believe there’s more to the Trump story—especially when it comes to his son, Barron. An unusual theory suggests the Trump family might be time travelers, a claim that gained traction after Trump took office in 2017.
This idea partly stems from a strange coincidence involving 19th-century author Ingersoll Lockwood, who wrote a children’s book in 1893 titled Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey. The main character, Baron, is a wealthy young boy who lives in “Castle Trump” and is guided by a mentor named Don Fum.
The similarities to Barron Trump, Donald Trump, and even references to Russia have fueled speculation. The book describes hidden knowledge, secret civilizations, and underground dangers—elements that some link to Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp.”


Another Lockwood book, The Last President, tells of a New York outsider who becomes president and appoints a man named Pence as his advisor—parallels too close for some to ignore. As these connections spread on social media, some users call them mere coincidences, while others see them as eerie predictions of Trump’s political rise.
