Donald Trump’s time traveler theory

The US president’s time-travelling theory links back to a couple of science fiction books written by Lockwood Ingersoll in the 1890s.

The books are called ‘Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and his Wonderful Dog Bulger’, ‘Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey’ and ‘The Last President’.

Some readers claim that the books have storylines and characters which link back to the US president.

For example, the main character in the novels has the same name as Donald Trump’s son Barron Trump. The character sets out on a journey and heads to Russia.

Then in Lockwood’s third book ‘The Last President’, there is a storyline where the people of New York City are opposing the election of a new candidate in early November. Donald Trump won the presidential election on November 8th in 2016.

Plus, there’s another creepy reference in the book which says: “The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob.” The Trump Tower is located on 5th avenue in New York City.

Opinion: Time-traveling theory

As with every bizarre theory out there, this one has also opened a window for a hot debate on social media.

While some firmly believe that these references are true, others have brushed off the crazy ideas about Donald Trump and his family.

Unless there’s real scientific proof out there, all those theories are, well, only theories.
