I heard a rumor that Trumps grandpa(or was it his dad?) somehow got his hands on Tesla’s files, became a time traveler, and hatched a plan to stop sinister evil doers from achieving world domination.
Or they were thrown away, one or the other.
So who has the Rockford Files then?

IIRC it was Trumps Uncle on his father's side who took the papers. IDK if that is internet rumor or fact.
The National Academy of Engineering described Trump as "a pioneer in the scientific, engineering and medical applications of high voltage machinery".[4] James Melcher, Trump's lab director, is quoted as saying: "John, over a period of three decades, would be approached by people of all sorts because he could make megavolt beams of ions and electrons – death rays ... What did he do with it? Cancer research, sterilizing sludge out in Deer Island [a waste disposal facility], all sorts of wondrous things. He didn't touch the weapons stuff."[14]

If Wikipedia says it then we know it's true.
These papers and their seizure would be the source of much controversy for the Bureau over the decades. Following an unsubstantiated claim in Tesla’s biography that the FBI held onto Tesla’s most dangerous inventions lest they fall into the wrong hands (they remained the property of the Office of Alien Property Custodian until they mysteriously disappeared after the war), Director J. Edgar Hoover dealt with dozens of letters over the years demanding the papers be made public. While some of Telsa’s later writings do certainly sound like they’d make for interesting reading it was the opinion of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer who evaluated the papers that there was nothing “of significant value to this country” …
So there you have it - while not completely solving the mystery of Tesla’s missing effects, this should at least undercut some of the more outlandish conspiracies surrounding Tesla, right? Er, not quite. The name of that MIT engineer who looked over Tesla’s papers? That’d be John G. Trump … also known as Donald Trump’s uncle.
