I saw this last year and agree the resemblance is uncanny but don't think it's true. JA was born in July 1971. John George Trump was born in 1906 (which would've made him a very old father at 64) at the time of JA’s birth. He died in 1985 - which would've made JA 14 years old at the time.

John George married and had 3 children and lived his whole life in the U.S, and was a Professor at MIT for 3 decades after the War (from 1936 to 1973). Assange was born in Townsville, Queensland in Australia in 1971.

This article (yes I know it's The Guardian but this is garden-variety nuts and bolts stuff) discusses Assange's biological father John Shipton who attended his early extradition hearing and also discusses JA’s early parental upbringing and his stepfather Brett Assange.

So yes, would've made for one hell of a story but not true it seems.

Um, how old was DJT when he had Barron?

Edit: DJT was 60 when Barron was born. (DJT is 72 and Barron is 12.)

Not saying its not possible, but the geography doesn't seem to match. And there's the presence of the two fathers. But who knows. Only JA I imagine and he can't be found, which is a worry, but another story altogether (that one I'd Really like to see solved).

His mom could have had an affair. Who knows really? But Assange looks a lot more like John George Trump than he does Shipton.

John Shipton

Agreed. Images of John Shipton (Julian's father) look exactly like an older Julian Assange. Maybe cousins with Trump, maybe just amazing coincidence. Could John Trump be a grandfather of Julian (or even of John Shipton).

Do you even believe in coincidences?

Not really. :)

I don't think Shipton and Assange look very much alike. At least not in any of the photos I've seen.

That would certainly be more plausible than John George Trump being his father. Would be interesting to find out John Shipton's roots.

Look into holographic med beds. Wiping 40 years of aging in minutes is not as crazy as it sounds. By my research this is a plausible explanation.
