...The entire East Side of New York City is in a state of uproar. Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of anarchists and socialists and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years. --From The Last President 18961900 or The Last President by INGERSOLL LOCKWOOD is a surrealistic 1896 novel where Americans are protesting a corrupt election process while the presidents hometown of New York City is fearing the collapse of the republic after the transition of presidential power. If this reminds you of the attitudes after the 2016 Trump presidential win you are not the alone. During 2017 this book as well as Lockwoods two childrens books The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger (1890) and Baron Trumps Marvellous Underground Journey (1893) drew attention due to its uncanny connections with President Trump and his family.Does this book foresee Donald Trump as the last president of a republic as we know it? Is this a bizarre coincidence or prophetic? Let the reader decide.
