A user also wrote, "Baron Trump 1889. There’s a set of books. Connected to Nikola Tesla," while one commented, "Elon was the name of the King of Mars in Werner Von Brauns book. This one is too weird though. Especially since John Trump was the last person to see the Tesla files."

A person also mentioned, "Fun fact, the Ingersoll watch-making company's best-selling pocket watch of all time is their Trump pocket watch."
