OK, so the gist of this Trump-related conspiracy theory goes something like this: Donald Trump and his family time-traveled from a distant time to the current day with the goal of ruling over the U.S.

An odd set of coincidences serves as "proof" that this is true, and they stem from two books published in the 1890s. The books are titled Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey and The Last President — and they were both written by Ingersoll Lockwood. (Snopes.com writer Dan Evon, among many others, has confirmed the books really do exist.)

The Baron Trump book features a story about a boy who finds a secret portal and time travels. And although his first name is spelled differently than the POTUS's son — who spells it "Barron" — there are some compelling coincidences if you look more closely.

"Trump’s adventures begin in Russia and are guided thanks to directions provided by ‘the master of all masters,' a man named ‘Don,’" according to Snopes. "Before leaving for his voyage through the unknown, Trump is told of his family’s motto: ‘The pathway to glory is strewn with pitfalls and danger.’” 

So far, we've got a character named Baron Trump who is guided by a man named Don. But here's where things get really creepy.

Meanwhile in The Last President, Lockwood begins his story in New York City in early November. People in the book were in a panicked outrage following the election of an "enormously opposed outsider candidate." (Sound familiar?)

"The entire East Side is in a state of uproar," police officers shouted through the streets, warning city folk to stay indoors for the night, according to Newsweek. "Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of anarchists and socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years."

The thing is, the man who won that presidency was highly wealthy and lived on 5th Avenue. (Hmmm, Trump Tower is located on 5th Avenue.) And after Lockwood's character becomes president, one of the first people he chose for his cabinet was a man named Lafe Pence. (No, it's not Mike, but come on.)

Unnerving, right?
