When it comes to the White House and alleged prophecy, perhaps the most intriguing thing we’ve seen came not from a mystic or near-deather but a political writer, lawyer, and novelist in the late 1800s named Ingersoll Lockwood from Ossining, New York, who wrote a series of novels, two of which were for children and focused on a curious fictional character whose name—if this rings a bell—was “Baron Trump.”

That’s missing the second “r” in the name of the ex-president’s son, Barron, of course, but it seems very uncanny: In the old book, the fictional “Baron Trump” is portrayed as an aristocratically endowed young man living in a place called “Trump Castle.”

That was basically the name, a century later, of a casino Donald J. Trump built in Atlantic City. We pointed this out years ago in a “Special Report.”

In the fiction—again, from more than a hundred years ago—”Baron  Trump” is further described as having an unending imagination and an “active” brain that is bored with the lavish but tedious lifestyle of which he is accustomed.

In the novels, moreover–and more ironically–the boy visits Russia on an adventure that ends up shaping the rest of his life.

And while in Russia, the fictional Baron Trump’s adventures are guided by a “master of all masters” named… “Don.”

Uncanniest of all: Lockwood’s final novel, published in 1896 and about an election, describes a “state of uproar” in New York City over an outsider winning the U.S. presidency. The name “Trump” is not in this particular Ingersoll  novel, but the links are as clear as they are startling. Are they also revealing? Is there more to come? “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,” Lockwood wrote. “The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob.”

Of course, Fifth Avenue is where Trump Tower is located.

Asked the novel, “Would the troops be in time to save it?”

A bit unnervingly, the book was entitled “The Last President.”

What do we make of that? Mobs? Violence? 

More questions than answers. And a last question (no matter who wins):

Is more to come?
