In "The End of the World", a rabble-rousing doomsayer named Walter Trump (played by Lawrence Dobkin) comes to town. He scares the townsfolk with talk of an impending disaster and claims to be the only person who can save them – by building a wall. He also threatens to sue Hoby when accused of dishonesty. By the end of the episode, he is arrested as a conman and fraud. The coincidental similarity to Donald Trump's name and proposed border wall was noted after his 2016 election. Vanity Fair wrote that "of all the books and movies that presaged the rise of our reality-TV president... none are so eerily on the nose as this once-obscure, 1958 episode of Trackdown in which a demagogue named Trump attempts to convince a town that only he can save its citizens... by building a wall." The Wrap asked, "Want to talk about a weird coincidence?.... Some may call this episode titled 'The End of the World' the ultimate illustration of life imitating art, considering the episode aired May 9, 1958... it is pretty amusing, especially when the TV character threatens, 'Be careful, son. I can sue you.'" The San Francisco Chronicle stated that "the character's speech is so similar to the president-elect's, it almost seems as if Donald Trump borrowed some catchphrases from Walter Trump.

Thus reinforcing the idea that Trump's crazy uncle really DID have a time machine.
That we have already established on ATS was given to him by aliens.
So aliens are influencing the 2020 elections.
And the conspiracy circle is complete.

What about those Barron Trump time-traveling tales?

Job well done putting all this together.
But.....(and I voted Trump), if you asked Trump who Apollo was, I’m sure he would say the black guy Rocky fought.
Trump is a wheeler and dealer, but well versed in Greek mythology and a numerologist time traveler? I don’t think so.

Actually, Bob Lazar built the machine... he flew it (for lack of a better term) to the past, and gave it to Trump's uncle... along with a briefcase full of element-115.
Bob Lazar will vanish soon, and now you know why
According to some scholars, the name Apollo derived from the Doric word apella (ἀπέλλα), which originally meant "wall," "fence for animals" and later "assembly within the limits of the square."
Several instances of popular etymology are attested from ancient authors. Thus, the Greeks most often associated Apollo's name with the Greek verb ἀπόλλυμι (apollymi), "to destroy".
