Could Donald Trump really be a time traveller? It sounds like the premise of a sci-fi novel, yet in recent years a peculiar mix of historical facts, viral social media posts and conspiracy theories has made the question persist.

Trump, and curious 19th-century novels about a young Baron Trump, which some suggest eerily mirror the real-life Trump family. While there is no concrete evidence that time travel exists, the connections and coincidences are sufficient to fuel ongoing debate online.
