Summary

The conversational exchange reflects a mix of political commentary, speculation, and literary references. The discussion revolves around Donald Trump’s presidency, global political shifts, and the perception of the United States’ potential disintegration. A significant part of the dialogue draws parallels between Trump’s presidency and *Ingersoll Lockwood’s 1896 novella, "1900; Or, The Last President"*, which presents a dystopian vision of America following a contentious election. The novella is coupled with references to Lockwood's earlier book, _Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Adventure_, sparking conspiracy theories due to its uncanny coincidences with modern political figures and events.

Conversational transcripts:

[21/09, 17:31] hu1: A bit of Baba'r prosad and Trump would have given away lifetime visas for free.

[21/09, 18:07]hu2: Being honest the entire world got him wrong- yes you had it right- ??insider trading- whats your take on the mid terms

[21/09, 18:08] hu3 : Actually the few of us who saw him for who he was got completely drowned out - India’s foreign policy is up in the air right now with a rapidly shifting picture around us

[21/09, 18:40] hu2: There is a global right movement along with the reverse of globalisation- so it will affect all countries- perhaps India might be less affected and saved by its internal market and lack of major exports apart from intelligence (Brain) God knows what tomorrow holds - mine is just wishful thinking

[21/09, 19:14]hu4: Trump is the last president of USA. After him there will be no USA but different states of America will become independent countries

[21/09, 19:26]hu2: Definitely looks like

[21/09, 20:09]hu1: Nostradamus said so.

[21/09, 20:33]hu4: The credit for this goes to Ingersoll Lockwood, a forgotten lawyer-diplomat, who in 1896, published "1900; Or, The Last President," a political novella

Thematic Analysis

1. Political Speculation and Global Context

The conversation begins with light-hearted remarks about Trump’s presidency but quickly shifts to serious observations about global political trends. There is mention of a *global right-wing movement* and the *reversal of globalization*, reflecting current anxieties about rising nationalism and economic protectionism. The claim that India might be less affected due to its strong internal market and intellectual exports suggests a belief in the country’s resilience amidst global uncertainty.

2. The U.S. Disintegration Hypothesis

A provocative theme emerges with the assertion that Trump could be the "last president" of the United States, leading to its eventual fragmentation into independent states. This idea, though speculative, ties into broader concerns about *political polarization*, *domestic unrest*, and the erosion of democratic norms in America.

3. Literary Parallels and Conspiracy Theories

The discussion integrates literary references to *Ingersoll Lockwood’s works*, which have gained attention for their eerie parallels to modern politics.

- _"1900; Or, The Last President"_ describes a deeply divided America on the brink of collapse due to political corruption and societal unrest, mirroring concerns about contemporary political instability.¹ ²

- _"Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Adventure"_ features a character with surprising similarities to Trump’s family, fueling conspiracy theories about time travel and prophecy.

4. Nostalgia and Satirical Commentary

The inclusion of Nostradamus and speculative remarks about Trump’s presidency being foretold adds a satirical layer to the conversation. It reflects a mix of humor, skepticism, and genuine concern about the state of global politics.
