People think century-old sketches could prove Donald Trump and son Barron are time travelers
A recent discovery has sparked a bizarre theory online: could President Donald Trump have cracked time travel? The theory is based on a collection of century-old sketches by Charles Dellschau, a Prussian-born artist who died in 1923.
His drawings, which feature strange flying machines called "aeros," show an intriguing connection to Trump and his son Barron. The word "TRUMP" is scrawled across some of the sketches, and there’s a blonde figure piloting a craft marked with "45" - a number associated with Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States.
This odd link between the past and present has triggered a frenzy of conspiracy theories. Some speculate that Trump, and possibly his son, might be traveling through time. The theory is further fueled by references in the works of author Ingersoll Lockwood, who wrote stories in the 1890s about a boy named Baron Trump.
In his tales, Baron Trump lives in the Castle Trump and embarks on wild adventures with a mentor named Don, bearing a striking resemblance to Barron and Donald Trump. The connections are so uncanny that conspiracy theorists can’t help but make links.
What do the books and sketches suggest?
Dellschau's sketches are filled with mysterious details, including a fuel called "NB Gas" or "supe," which some enthusiasts claim might be linked to modern-day UFOs and "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena."
The flying machines in the drawings are described as anti-gravity devices, further fueling speculation that they are connected to real technological advancements. The idea that Donald Trump has access to such knowledge adds fuel to the fire, especially since he has hinted in the past, “I know things that other people don’t know.”
Meanwhile, Lockwood's book The Last President paints a chaotic picture of a future New York City with Fifth Avenue riots and a president named Bryan who chooses a vice president named Pence - mirroring the 2016 election and the relationship between Donald Trump and Mike Pence. These strange echoes of modern-day events in 19th-century books only add to the conspiracy theory that something unusual is at play.
What does the Trump family say?
Despite the viral theories circulating online, not everyone in the Trump family is on board with the time-travel narrative. Kai Trump, Donald Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter, expressed skepticism, saying during a podcast appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive, “I don’t want to go down those rabbit holes.”
However, with mysterious family connections, such as Donald Trump's uncle, MIT professor John G. Trump, reviewing Nikola Tesla’s papers, many are still eager to make their own conclusions about the strange connections between past and present.
Whether there’s any truth to the time travel theories or not, the internet’s fascination with the Trump family continues to inspire wild and imaginative ideas.
