A bizarre theory claims that President Donald Trump could be a time traveler, with "signs" scattered across art and literature for more than a century.

Sketches of future aircraft, created by artist Charles Dellschau, a Prussian immigrant who came to the US in 1850 and died in 1923, mysteriously contain the word "TRUMP" and the number 47 - the number of American presidents.

Dellschau created drawings of fantastical flying machines he called "aeros" before his death, resembling a cross between early airships, balloons and primitive airplanes. Conspiracy theorists have noted the recurring appearance of Trump's name and numbers associated with his terms as the 45th and 47th president.

The theory also ties in with Ingersoll Lockwood's old novels from the late 19th century, where the young protagonist "Baron Trump" embarks on his incredible adventures with a wise mentor, Don. In Lockwood's books, Baron lives in "Castle Trump" and is guided by Don, adding to the mystery that the first American family was predicted decades before the president's birth.

Some theories suggest, without evidence, that Dellschau and Lockwood had a mysterious method of knowing the future, or that the Trump family possesses time travel technology to influence world events. One social media user wrote:

"Either Trump is a time traveler, or someone has been working for 200 years to make a man who wasn't born yet look like he is."

According to the American Visionary Art Museum in Maryland, Dellschau's "aeros" were powered by an anti-gravity substance he called "NB Gas," or "soup," which allowed them to fly without normal fuels. The technology bears an eerie resemblance to descriptions of UFOs, which the government calls Unidentified Anomaly Phenomena, and President Trump has promised to release information about them during his term.

Dellschau's sketches included a golden-haired figure driving a car marked with the number 45 — another connection to Trump as the 45th president. The mystery has fueled theories that Trump and his youngest son, Barron, may have time-traveled. One Trump quote that has garnered attention is:

"I know things that others don't know."

His comments about nuclear power and his nephew, Dr. John Trump, have fueled speculation. Even media star Logan Paul asked Trump's niece, Kai, if Lockwood's books show that humanity lives in a virtual simulation. She said she doesn't believe Barron is a time traveler:

"I don't want to get into those crazy theories."

Lockwood was an American political writer and novelist, author of the children's books Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey and Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulgar. He also wrote the political novel The Last President, which opens in New York after the election of a highly unpopular candidate, describing the unrest in the city.

In Baron Trump's books, the boy visits Russia on an extraordinary adventure, led by Don, "the best of them all." The Trump family motto in Lockwood's books is:

"The road to glory is filled with dangers and obstacles."

As for time travel, no major scientific institution, including NASA, has considered the theory impossible. Several researchers have suggested that time travel might be possible, including a 2020 study that mathematically showed that traveling back in time would not cause unexplained paradoxes. However, physicist Stephen Hawking argued in 1994:

"The best proof that time travel is not possible is that we haven't been attacked by a crowd of tourists from the future." /GazetaExpress/
