People on the internet came up with wild theories after the TikTok clip about the two 1800s novels about Donald and Barron Trump went viral.

Some online comments read, "He knows about the book and named his kid accordingly," and "Barron is actually a young Trump that came to the future from the past."

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."
