Is President Trump a time traveler? Century-old sketches spark new conspiracy theories
Forget science fiction — some corners of the Internet are convinced Donald Trump has unlocked the secrets of time travel.
This idea has gained traction after a collection of century-old sketches by Prussian-born artist Charles Dellschau surfaced. Dellschau, who passed away in 1923, spent much of his life illustrating “aeros,” fantastical flying machines that combined elements of balloons, airplanes, and steampunk imagination.
Conspiracy enthusiasts have latched onto certain details: some drawings feature the name “TRUMP,” while others depict a blond figure piloting a craft marked with the number 45. To theorists, the connections are irresistible.
The books add another layer to the speculation. In the 1890s, author Ingersoll Lockwood wrote stories about a boy named Baron Trump, who lived in Castle Trump and embarked on strange, adventurous journeys under the guidance of a mentor named Don. Observers note striking parallels between the fictional Baron and Trump’s youngest son, Barron.
Lockwood’s novels, including The Last President, also contain oddly prescient scenes: a chaotic New York election, riots along Fifth Avenue, and a president selecting a cabinet member named “Pence” — echoing Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence. Statements from the Trump family have only fueled the conversation. The president himself has frequently remarked, “I know things that other people don’t know,” which many online users interpret as a hint at hidden knowledge.
Not everyone is convinced. When asked about the theories, the president’s 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump, dismissed them, saying, “I don’t want to go down those rabbit holes.”
Dellschau’s sketches themselves introduce additional intrigue, depicting a mysterious “anti-gravity” fuel called NB Gas or “supe,” said to power his flying machines. UFO enthusiasts point out that it bears a resemblance to the government’s Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, which Trump has promised to disclose publicly.
The connections don’t stop there. Donald Trump’s uncle, MIT professor John G. Trump, once reviewed Nikola Tesla’s papers, leading some theorists to speculate that they might have contained advanced—or even time-travel—technology. Meanwhile, centuries-old paintings and gargoyles that resemble the president have become viral fodder for Internet sleuths.
Whether it’s genuine time travel or just another exercise in connecting dots that probably shouldn’t be connected, one fact remains clear: the Trump family continues to inspire imaginative—and often outlandish—theories that would make even Doc Brown from Back to the Future pause and raise an eyebrow.
