Novelist from 1800’s Putting Nostradamus to Shame!
The parallels between what’s going on in the world today compared to the contents of a series of novels written in the late 1800’s continue to mount. For example, in his last novel, The Last President, novelist Ingersoll Lockwood focuses on main character Baron Trump, who rules over Trump Castle as a populist leader.
Nefarious characters attack the castle, and a young Baron is in the fight to save his homeland. All along the way, Baron has been mentored by an older wealthy man from New York City named “Don”.
Of course, a Trump Castle may not exist but there IS a Trump Tower that resembles what any castle in New York City might look like. Donald Trump’s son Barron does spell his name with an extra “r” but hey, Lockwood can’t get everything right when he got so much right when he put pen to paper well over 100 years ago.
Joining us to discuss these ever-increasing parallels is best-selling author Troy Anderson, whose new book The TRUMP CODE has some extremely interesting time travel aspects to it.
