Discussion: How Trump's Story On Friend, Go-To Paris Guy 'Jim' Serves As A Cautionary Tale Against Terrorism

Does he have guys for other cities? - Vitaly for Moscow, say? Does he do this because even he understands that, as a billionaire, he canā€™t pass along what cabbies tell him? Was John (Miller) unavailable?

Is ā€œJimā€ one of the voices in his head? Does Trump himself ever realize - however faintly - that heā€™s nuts?

Will our descendants ever understand how this happened? - Will they ever forgive us?

Yes, there is heightened security ā€” burly guys stationed at the entrances to Printemps and other big dept stores, tourist attractions and similar ā€” but everybody still eats in the outdoor cafes and strolls through the parks.

In general, there is a certain air of ā€œshrug and get on with lifeā€ā€¦

ā€œMy statement as to whatā€™s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.ā€

Good thing he explained. Otherwise we wouldā€™ve thought heā€™d been told by his friend Sven.

Given the pattern to date, Iā€™m wondering if Macronā€™s invitation is the prelude to an epic troll.

Plus, I am so tired of anus-mouth pictures being all over the news. This is where we are as a country: it is now possible to getā€“nay, impossible not to getā€“something that can be described as ā€œanus-mouth fatigue.ā€

Who was his ā€œguyā€ in Bowling Green?

Easy mystery to solve. Baron. Jimā€™s last name is Baron. John Baronā€™s ā€œbrotherā€.

No doubt. And there is another quite possibly fictitious Trump person whose name is now never mentionedā€“Meredith McIver. Remember her? She was the key secretary who was supposedly responsible for Melaniaā€™s plagiarism during the GOP convention. Never heard her name mentioned again. Maybe she was killed by a Moooslim terrorist in Paris during Jimā€™s final visit there?

Nobody goes there anymore. Itā€™s too crowded.

ā€œā€˜Paris?ā€ Jim replied, as relayed by Trump. ā€œā€˜I donā€™t go there anymore. Paris is no longer Paris.ā€™ā€

An opinion that, even if it were real, would be treated by Parisians like a 2-day old baguette.

I vacillate between wanting to laugh and cry when I read stories like this. If your ten-year old son talked and lied like Trump, you would be worried and looking for serious professional help for your kid.

Trump misheard and thought it was called the City of Blights.

ā€œJimā€ is trumpā€™s straw man so that he (trump) can spread fear within his base. I was in France in 2006, 2015 and again in 2016, the last two trips to catch stages of the Tour de France bike race. We were in massive crowds and yet I felt not fear at all. Not even when our trips took us through Paris. It was wonderful and Iā€™d go again in a heart beat.

trumpā€™s fear mongering by using ā€œJimā€ and itā€™s disgusting.

Iā€™m hoping that Macron finds a way to troll or make a fool of trump without trump realizing it.

I donā€™t know what Henri Serre (ā€œJimā€ from ā€œJules et Jimā€) is up to these days, but if heā€™s up to it, Macron can invite him to Trump and exclaim ā€œVoici, votre Jim!ā€
