The Baron Trump novels are two adventure books for children. They were written by an American author and lawyer named Ingersoll Lockwood. The books came out in 1889 and 1893. For a long time, not many people knew about them. But in 2017, they became famous. This happened because some people noticed interesting similarities between the main character and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Why Baron Trump Books Became Famous

In July 2017, people on the internet found these old books again. Soon after, news reporters also started talking about them. They pointed out how the main character, Baron Trump, seemed similar to U.S. President Donald Trump.

Interesting Similarities Noticed

Jaime Fuller, a writer for Politico, said that Baron Trump is "smart, restless, and often gets into trouble." He often talks about how big his brain is. He also has a special, funny insult for almost everyone he meets. Fuller also pointed out that Baron Trump lives in a building named after himself, called "Castle Trump." In real life, Donald Trump lived in a building called Trump Tower for many years.

Donald Trump's youngest son is also named Barron Trump. Chris Riotta, a writer for Newsweek, mentioned that Baron Trump's adventures start in Russia.

Another Book by the Author

Riotta also talked about another book by Ingersoll Lockwood. It was called 1900; or, The Last President. In this book, the city of New York City faces big protests. This happens after a surprising election victory by a candidate who was very popular with everyday people. This candidate's win leads to big changes in the American government.

Plans for a Movie

In July 2017, there were reports that a filmmaker named Leigh Scott was planning something new. He wanted to raise money from many people to make a movie. This movie would be based on the Baron Trump novels.
