Social media went into a meltdown when a conspiracy theory surrounding Barron Trump being a time traveler began spreading earlier this year. Now, his sister-in-law, Lara Trump, spills the truth.
The debate about Barron as a time traveler began when social media users found old illustrations from Ingersoll Lockwood’s books. The late-1800s stories feature Baron Trump, a boy adventuring with his mentor, Don.
Due to the similar names, many point out what they believe are eerie connections to former President Donald Trump and his son, Barron.
The theory has spread online quickly. Many say the similarities are too strange to ignore, with some claiming the stories are proof of time travel or some Trump family link to past events.
Historians say there is no real evidence for the claims. Experts note that the names were not unusual at the time, and that people often make connections between old stories and current events. Kai Trump, the president’s granddaughter, has commented on the theory, saying she doesn’t want to “go down those rabbit holes.”
Coincidence or not, the theory has left many wondering how the past can feel closer to the present than we expect.
Trump family member shares the truth about Barron ‘time traveler’ rumor
Neither Donald nor Barron has spoken about the conspiracy theory. However, Trump has repeatedly said, “I know things that other people don’t know,” sparking debate.
However, now, another Trump family member has spoken on the subject, claiming what is really the truth about Barron.
In May, on an episode of The Right View with Lara Trump, Barron’s sister-in-law and Eric Trump’s wife, broke her silence. When discussing the theory, she said that the “amount of views that some of these videos get, where they really dissect how this really worked out.
“I’m not trying to ruin anybody or rain on any parades here,” Lara Trump said. “Barron Trump is not a time traveler. Sorry to say it. I’m sorry, I broke a lot of people’s hearts today.”
She continued, “Name me one time traveler. Name me anybody who actually can say that that’s a real thing? “It doesn’t exist, but people have gotten so far off the rails on this ‘Barron being a time traveler’ thing. I don’t know what to tell you. I think it’s crazy. I’ve known Barron for 18 years, OK, he’s not a time traveler.”
Lara Trump concluded: “I’ve seen him grow up, it’s crazy stuff, but I think people love to grab on to conspiracies or things that are very far-fetched like that.”
