Say what
Internet freaks out over 19thcentury
books featuring boy
named ‘Baron Trump’
The internet tends to trump things up, but
even this boggles the mind: A series of books
from the late 1800s depicts a character named
Baron Trump. The boy is aided in his quest by
a man named Don.
Reddit users have been discussing the
books, along with a number of other Trumprelated
conspiracy theories.
The books are credited to Ingersoll
Lockwood, a lawyer who dabbled in fantasy
fiction.
Newsweek also wrote about the books,
noting that the coincidences go beyond the
lead character’s name ― which is just one
letter off from the name of President Donald
Trump’s youngest child, Barron.
In Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground
Journey, Baron is a wealthy young man living
in a place called Castle Trump, but his real
adventures begin when Don, the “Master of
all Masters,” inspires him to travel to Russia,
where he finds a portal that allows him to
travel to other lands.

sites like Reddit and 4chan, it’s understandable
that this all sounds like some elaborate prank.
However, the books are all listed in
WorldCat, and some can be found on the
Library of Congress website, in addition to
Google Books and Amazon.•
