19th century novels feature the 'marvellous' adventures of a boy named Baron Trump - time travel?

[Roy]

Not sure whether it's the most appropriate place for this thread but here we come as it's one of the closest to what it's concerned about.

It sounds like a joke but there are some eerie similarities between the contents of the books and Donald Trump's family. This book has been completely forgotten & reamined in obscurity for over 100 years and has been rediscovered only in 2017 in its digitized version so it is unlikely that Donald named his son by the name of the hero of this novel (but adding one ''r'' ). But there are more interesting details that Donald has in common with Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey & another novel of Lockwood 1900: Or The Last President which is a sequel of the former.

Proof for time travel, a random collection of coincidents or a prophetic / extrapolated vision? It's not a fake book in any case.

Now regarding this conspiracy part
The book titles and the connections to President Donald Trump and his son Barron are just the beginning of several spooky parallels. In the children's books, the novels tell the tale of a wealthy aristocratic boy who lives in 'Castle Trump' and is guided on his journey to Russia by a man named 'Don.'

The multitude of similarities to the Trump family living in present day America and the tales in the tomes have internet conspiracy theorists concluding the Trump family is capable of time travel.

Baron visits Russia on an extraordinary adventure. Baron's guided through his adventure by 'the master of all masters,' a man named 'Don.'

The Trump family motto, the one in the book that is, is: 'The pathway to glory is strewn with pitfalls and dangers.'

In the storybook's illustrations of Baron Trump, he is lavishly dressed and decked in jewels, as he leaves Castle Trump and begins his journey to Russia to find an entrance to alternate dimensions

The East Side of the city, which is where the Women's March began the day after Donald Trump's inauguration, is in a 'state of uproar.'

The 19th century book says police officers shouted through the streets as '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. 'Would the troops be in time to save it?' The East Side of the city, which is where the Women's March began the day after Donald Trump's inauguration, is in a 'state of uproar.'

The Women's March concluded just two blocks short of Trump Tower International on 5th ave.

The marchers didn't get in front of the tower because of police barricades.

The month of the Women's March was January, a day after Trump was inaugurated, but the geography is eerily similar.

It's all strangely there. Of course the internet is spinning its wheels on conspiracy theories, but the most rampant one, which considering the evidence maybe shouldn't be shrugged off so soon, is that the Trump family has a time machine.

Yes, a time machine.



How does one make a leap to Donald Trump and Barron Trump, possibly time traveling? We can thank the internet.

Donald Trump's uncle John Trump had access to Nikola Tesla's papers. Tesla was an inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist. And, according to the conspiracy theories, he was researching time travel.

Some materials / articles about it:

Spoiler!

Lockwood's next novel 1900: Or The Last President is a dystopian political drama about (not making this up) an unpopular outsider candidate who wins the presidency.

In the book, his election is met with outrage and rioting crowds (ahem, protestors). Lockwood writes: "The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob." Again, Trump Tower is located on 5th Avenue.

Let's hope Lockwood didn't have some prophetic vision of the future, because The Last President ends with the collapse of the republic.

Did Lockwood have some kind of prescience? Or, as many conspiracy theorists claim: Is Trump actually a time traveler?

Yes, people actually believe that Trump traveled back in time using technology his uncle stole from Nikola Tesla. (Trump's uncle actually did investigate Tesla's work for the government's Office of Alien Property - again, not making this up - after the inventor died.)

Whether or not Lockwood had prophetic dreams or Trump traveled through time in a Tesla, the connections between the books and our current reality are too strange to be mere coincidence.

The first thing to know about Baron Trump is that he can’t stop talking about his brain. While meeting with the Russian government, he talks about his glorious gray matter. As foreign women fall for him, he mentions his superior intelligence before casting them off. He once sued his tutors, alleging that they owed him money for everything he had taught them. He won.

This Trump does not exist, except in the dusty stacks of a library, digital archive or Reddit thread near you. He’s not a member of the first family, but instead the entirely fictional protagonist of a series of somewhat satirical Victorian novels for kids.

In July, a flock of internet detectives discovered the books. The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger was published in 1889, and quickly forgotten thereafter, as was its sequel, Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Adventure. They are not timeless, and were quickly overshadowed by more compelling contemporary entries in the fanciful-travel-stories-for-children genre, like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and The Wizard of Oz. Their author, lawyer Ingersoll Lockwood, appears in history mostly for his role in a financial tangle that occurred in the aftermath of an elderly woman's death on the railroad tracks near Philadelphia.

The most pertinent detail for modern readers, of course, is that his books are Trump-adjacent, a coincidence that somehow led a few web denizens to conclude that they were not a mere curiosity, but compelling proof that our president might just be a time traveler.

In these books, the young German protagonist, Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, better known as Baron Trump, travels around and under the globe with his dog Bulger, meeting residents of as-of-yet undiscovered lands before arriving back home at Castle Trump. Trump is precocious, restless, and prone to get in trouble, with a brain so big that his head has grown to twice the normal size—a fact that, as we have seen, he mentions often. No one tells Trump that his belief that he looks great in traditional Chinese garb—his uniform for both volumes—is unwarranted.

Lockwood’s books are spring break meets Carmen Sandiego meets Jabberwocky; at the start of each story, Trump sets out eager to find new civilizations—and manages to get distracted by more than one lady along the way. One of the first places he visits in Travels and Adventures is the land of the toothless and nearly weightless Wind Eaters, who inflate to beach-ball size after a meal. They are generous hosts until Trump starts a fire. The intrigued Wind Eaters draw near, and promptly explode after the air they have ingested expands thanks to the flames. As Captain Go-Whizz, “a sort of leader among them,” chases the murderer, the dog Bulger bites one of the Wind Eaters until he deflates like a punctured balloon. The pair eventually escape, leaving the briefly betrothed Princess Pouf-fah without a mate, and Chief Ztwish-Ztwish and Queen Phew-yoo with many a funeral to plan.

This sequence of events—anthropological study, jilting, disaster, escape—is repeated for much of the two books, like when Trump meets the Man Hoppers, who have biker calves and puny T-rex arms, and soon runs away from their crying princess after first acquiring a book with centuries of priceless knowledge. A variation on this plot recurs when Trump visits the Round Bodies. (Perhaps a wandering life such as his was inevitable; as the book explains, he was born in the land of the Melodious Sneezers, whose alphabets consists of achoos of different length and tone.) Marvelous Underground Adventure is a slight twist on the theme, as all the societies are found deep below the dirt in Russia: the land of Transparent Folk, the ant people, and the Happy Forgetters, who dread remembering anything and will, like history, forget Baron Trump soon after he goes above ground.

Suzan Alteri, curator of the Baldwin Collection of Historical Children’s Literature at the University of Florida, could only say that the titles are “really strange. I can’t think of a better word than that.” They are not well-known in the world of children’s books. Alteri hadn’t heard of them until I asked her for a comment.

One Baron Trump reviewer wrote in 1891, “The author labors through three hundred pages of fantastic and grotesque narrative, now and then striking a spark of wit; but the sparks emit little light and no warmth, and one has to fumble for the story.” That’s, if anything, too generous: There are plenty of things that were better left forgotten in the 19th century that people are determined to keep alive in 2017. Baron Trump seems to be one of them.

In the books, some very strange connections were made to the Trump family who is now in the White House, bear in mind the books date back to the 19th century. One of the main characters' names happens to be the same as the son of President Donald Trump, but it has a spelling that is different. Trump's adventures started in Russia and were guided by directions said to be the master of all masters, and he went under the name of Don.

Before he left for Russia Trump was told about a family motto “The pathway to glory is strewn with pitfalls and dangers.” Pictures in the book show Trump wearing clothing that is old fashioned, but lavish and he is wearing jewelry.

Lockwood released a book in 1896 with the title of The Last President, which was to be his last and it is here where things got even eerier and linked to the present day. The story in that book is about New York City in panic during November, and it was said to be in a state of uproar following the election of an outsider candidate that had been enormously opposed.
New York In Chaos Following Election Result In Book

It says in the book that the whole of the East Side of the state was in an uproar with police shouting in the streets to warn people to remain in their homes. It was said that large mobs have been organized and were following socialists and anarchists along with threatening to despoil along with plunder the homes of the rich as they said had oppressed them and wronged them for many years.

The book went on to say that the Fifth Avenue Hotel had been the first to discover how angry the mob was and it went on to give an address in New York where the Trump Tower was built much later. But can the troops come in time to save New York from the mob?

The books from Lockwood showed up online recently in forums, with users sharing images along with conspiracy theories about the stories and their link to Donald Trump. Some of them said that the Trump family must have a time machine and they use it to ensure they remain powerful.

The book The Last President broke away from the fictional narrative of the previous books written by Lockwood. However, the links were still very clear. New York City is the hometown of Trump in the books, and it is on the verge of republics collapse. Some people in the USA started to form a resistance and began to protest at what they saw as an unethical and corrupt election process.
