Writers have always seemed to possess an uncanny ability to foretell future events through
their fictional works.
Books in the fantasy and science fiction genres written decades ago, for example, have predicted
with some degree of accuracy some of the advanced technologies as well as societal norms that
we have today which were probably inconceivable for most people back then.
Most of these predictions of the future turned out to be somehow impressively close to what
we have and what is happening in our world today not because these authors used their
secret powers of clairvoyance, but because of their creativity, open-mindedness and forward
thinking.
However, there have been cases when the prophetic contents of some books from many years before
are just too disturbingly on point about the details of our present world that we simply
can’t immediately dismiss them.
One such case has recently generated a lot of buzz online.
It involves the novels written by 19th-century author Ingersoll Lockwood, who some people
in social media believe is a clairvoyant author who prophesized current U.S. President Donald
Trump’s rise to power more than a century ago.
Given the online world’s current fascination with this highly-speculative theory, let’s
find out who Ingersoll Lockwood was and the reasons why people think his books could predict
the future in this video.
Ingersoll Lockwood was an American lawyer from New York, but he was also a political
writer and a published novelist.
He was known for infusing science fiction and fantasy elements into the children’s
stories that he had written in the late 1800s.
And among several stories that he had written, three had recently risen after a century of
obscurity.
The first two are children’s fantasy novels.
One is entitled “The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog
Bulgar” while the other was published with the title “Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground
Journey.”
The third one, on the other hand, is a short political fiction entitled “The Last President,”
which Lockwood had published back in 1896.
Lockwood’s two fictional fantasy novels centered on a young character named Wilhelm
Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, a wealthy baron living in a place called Castle Trump.
In the books, this peculiar character is more commonly referred to as “Little Baron Trump.”
Unsurprisingly, in hearing that name today, Barron Trump, the youngest son of U.S. President
Trump springs to mind.
Little Baron Trump is described as a child with “a very active brain” and a wild
imagination.
However, he is stifled by and bored of his incredibly lavish lifestyle inside his castle.
He then embarks on a magical journey in search for a pathway to alternate dimensions, and
the experience would change his life forever.
Baron Trump’s adventure begins in Russia, and he is guided by a “Master of All Masters”
Spaniard named Don Constantino Bartolomeo Strepholofidgeguaneriusfum.
For most of the story, however, he is simply referred to as “Don Fum.”
In Spanish, the word “Don” is an honorific title but some have mistaken it for the character’s
actual name.
And considering the word “Don” appears for around 60 times in the story, some people
could not help but associate this Don Fum character to the current American president
whose first name is “Donald.”
The similarity in the names of the characters in Lockwood’s children’s books with the
names of President Trump and his son can easily be dismissed as pure coincidence by most people.
However, the eerie connection between Lockwood’s written works and the Trump family does not
end there.
The plot of his political story, “The Last President,” disturbingly parallels recent
events that have happened in our world today.
The story of “The Last President” begins in early November in New York City which,
following the massive outrage over the election of a vehemently-opposed presidential candidate,
is in utter chaos.
In the book, the protesting mob led by anarchists and socialists threatened to “plunder and
despoil the houses of the rich.”
If you haven’t figured out the connection already, this event in Lockwood’s book is
spookily similar to what happened following Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017.
The Women’s March was held the next day and the East Side of New York City was flooded
by protesters.
Lockwood also wrote in his novel about the Fifth Avenue Hotel being the first to “feel
the fury of the mob” and wondered if the troops would arrive in time to prevent further
hostilities.
This is even stranger when you realize that the Women’s March concluded just a couple
of blocks away from Trump Tower International, a building that is coincidentally located
in Fifth Avenue.
To some conspiracy theorists, the eerie similarity between the events that took place in Lockwood’s
books and recent actual events in the United States is something to be concerned about
given that “The Last President” ended with the collapse of the republic.
If it turns out that Lockwood’s words truly were prophetic, then we can’t help but wonder:
Will the U.S. government meet its demise during President Trump’s administration?
Will he be the “last president” of America?
Speculation over Lockwood’s purported clairvoyance is not the only conspiracy theory connected
to his novels.
Some have even used his books to support another claim that Donald Trump and his family have
the technology to travel through time.
Online conspiracy theories suggest that the Trump family got a hold of a functional time
machine through President Trump’s uncle, John, who allegedly acquired it from Nikola
Tesla – an accomplished scientist who was known to be very fascinated with time travel.
With this secret technology, the Trump family has supposedly been travelling through time for many years in order to maintain and increase their power and influence.
