How The Strange Comparison Of Barron Trump To A Fictional Time Traveler Began
Jessica Wilkins While time travel remains a hypothetical concept in our reality, the uncanny similarities between Barron Trump and the character Baron Trump from Ingersoll Lockwood's books are mind-boggling. In the novels, Baron is described as a young aristocrat bored with his opulent life in Castle Trump. He decides to go on an adventure and is guided by a man named Don, a wealthy New Yorker who lives on Fifth Avenue, who leads him to a time-traveling portal in Russia. Yes, you read that right.
However, while the storyline is intriguing, a key element is missing — Barron's dad, Donald Trump, reportedly doesn't like dogs, while the fictional Baron was always accompanied by his trusty hound, Bulger. Perhaps Lockwood's Baron had a more pet-friendly father figure.
Nevertheless, the comparisons gained momentum with Lockwood's second book, where Barron's physical resemblance to the fictional Baron, whose portrait was featured in the novel, is more than obvious. The connection deepens as the real Trump family has German roots tracing back to — you guessed it — the 1880s. In 1885, four years before Lockwood published his first Trump-centered novel, Friedrich Trump, Donald's grandfather, made his way to the United States. The eerie parallels don't stop there, as Lockwood authored another peculiarly familiar storyline titled "The Last President."
