As Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration as president, the theories of his supposed connection to a thrill-junkie time traveller have resurfaced.

Many are convinced that a man called John Titor time travelled from the year 2036 to 2000 to warn the world of an impending nuclear war at the hands of ISIS.

Appearing only in online forums 16 years ago, nobody knew the identity of the man who vanished without a trace – but some are now certain that this man was none-other than president-elect Donald Trump.

Conspiracy theorists now believe that billionaire tycoon Donald Trump is poised to use the highest position on the planet to stop the impending nuclear war with ISIS terror-nuts.

Donald Trump, who has supposedly already seen a future ravaged by the destruction of a nuclear conflict, is detirmined to avert the oncoming apocalypse at whatever cost.

The conspiracy theory, which recently appeared on 4chan online forums, claims to be one of the most compelling explanations for Trump's shock victory at the election last year.

The legend-tellers suggest that Donald’s uncle John George Trump, who was a very well-known scientist and inventor, oversaw the examination of famous engineer Nikola Tesla’s notes after his death.

Serbian-born Tesla moved to the US in 1891 was famed for his reputation as a “mad scientist”.

Tesla was also well-known in his later years for exploring theoretical subjects, and even made very early pronouncements into the possibility of wireless connectivity.

He apparently looked into fantastic theories such as free energy, antigravity, invisibility, and most importantly time travel.

After Tesla died in 1943, the National Defence Research Committee called on M.I.T. Professor John Trump to look into his work in case there was any military application.

Trump spent three days by himself looking into the notes before concluding there was nothing of any significance.

His report read: “(Tesla’s) thoughts and efforts during at least the past 15 years were primarily of a speculative, philosophical, and somewhat promotional character”.

Conspiracy theorists claim Trump found theoretical designs for a time travelling machine.

John G. Trump spent a lot of time with his nephew Donald before he died in 1985.

In interviews Donald Trump regularly brought up his “uncle John” and references his warning over nuclear weapons and the damage they may cause.

During one such interview he cryptically said: “My uncle used to tell me about nuclear before nuclear was nuclear”.

He told the Boston Globe: “He would tell me, ‘There are things that are happening that could be potentially so bad for the world in terms of weaponry.”

Trump told the Times that his uncle “would tell me many years ago about the power of weapons someday, that the destructive force of these weapons would be so massive, that it’s going to be a scary world.”

What is strange about the warnings is that by the time Donald Trump was born in 1946, the US already owned and used nuclear weapons.

Trump also spoke about his dislike of nuclear weapons saying, “I hate nuclear more than any. My uncle was a professor was at M.I.T., used to tell me about nuclear.

“Can I be honest with you? It’s going to happen, anyway. It’s going to happen anyway. It’s only a question of time…”

Despite all John Trump’s scientific contributions, including methods for curing cancer, Donald appears to mostly speak about his uncle’s warnings of nuclear war.

Many have cited John Trump’s foresight as proof that he might have seen John Titor’s future ravaged by nuclear war and government corruption.

Donald Trump is also well-known for occasionally using pseudonyms such as John Miller and John Barron, using his middle as a first name.

But, according to the theory, his third and less well-known identity was John Titor.

In 2000 an online forum came alive with the story of John Titor, who claimed to be a soldier from 2036, and lived in a world destroyed by war and government corruption.

He offered some helpful tips on what the future had in store and suddenly vanished and after many of the predictions did not come true, he was written off as a hoax.

The legend goes that after John Trump had mastered time travel, Donald Trump journeyed to the future under the name John Titor.

After witnessing the destruction he returned to our time and subtly changed the future through the butterfly effect by giving humanity hints of what was to come.

But try as he might, Trump was unable to totally change the earth’s progression towards nuclear war brought on by ISIS and Islamic radicalisation, according to the wild theory.

So using his time travelling ability, Trump amassed a fortune with his family, and began running for president of the United States to allow himself to truly change the future.

Now that Trump is about to become the US president he will be able to truly change the world and avert the nuclear destruction planned for the world.

According to the conspiracy, there are quite a few similarities between the president-elect and John Titor.

In Titor’s posts, he was incredibly rude and aggressive towards those who challenged him.

In one post he wrote: “Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep.”

Donald Trump also seems to have a similar flare for insulting his critics and opponents and in one speech in Las Vegas in 2011 he said, “Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people.”

And Trump has been outspoken in claiming that he is more knowledgable about the United States’ enemies than top officials.

In 2015 the incoming president said during a campaign speech: “I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me”.

Trump has been mocked for his comment, but his claims are believed to back up the idea that he may know more about the future of ISIS than top US officials.

The bizarre conspiracy theory claims that Trump is now attempting to avert the future, by becoming president and dramatically altering the world's timeline by tackling the enemies which could potentially bring humanity to destruction.
