    WASHINGTON (AP) — For all things Paris, President Donald Trump's go-to guy is Jim.

    The way Trump tells it — Jim is a friend who loves Paris and used to visit every year. Yet, as Trump visits the city Thursday for his first time as president, it's unlikely that Jim will be tagging along. Jim doesn't go to Paris anymore. Trump says that's because the city has been infiltrated by foreign extremists.

    Whether Jim exists is unclear. Trump has never given his last name. The White House has not responded to a request for comment about who Jim is or whether he is on the trip.

    Trump repeatedly talked about the enigmatic Jim while on the campaign trail, but his friend didn't receive widespread attention until Trump became president. For Trump, Jim's story serves as a cautionary tale — a warning that even a place as lovely as Paris can be ruined if leaders are complacent about terrorism.

    Could he be our Jim?

    Name: Jim
    Job Title: CD
    Salary/Income: 190k/year and some company benefits.

    This fucking guy. "Believe me." "Everyone agrees." "Jim says Paris is overrun by terrorists."

    Imagine if we spoke like that at work while making a pitch.

    "Everyone agrees, everyone, the smartest people. Maybe, definitely the smartest people in the world. Ever. Believe me. Everyone agrees this is the best creative ever created. I asked Jim "'how's the creative doing?'" and Jim replied "It's the best creative ever."

    Trump sympathisers believe this is ok because Brawndo's got electrolytes you know.
