People think Trump has an imaginary friend named Jim

President Trump once described his friend Jim as a "very, very substantial guy," but people are seriously starting to doubt if Trump's friend Jim is even real.

In the past, Trump has used his friend Jim as a puppet to push messages about Paris. Trump spoke of Jim on the campaign trail and, in February, used his story as an example at CPAC in Maryland to show how terrible terrorism has become in Paris.

Nobody knows if Jim is real or not, and people are strongly considering that Trump made up an imaginary friend and named him Jim.

According to a new report from the Associated Press, the identity of Jim remains a mystery. Trump has never provided a last name for Jim, and the White House did not respond to a request for comment about the identity of Jim.

Following the story of Jim at CPAC in February, Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, trolled Trump and Jim on Twitter using a photo of herself with a Disney exec, joined by Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

“To Donald and his friend Jim,” Hidalgo wrote in French. “Celebrating the attractiveness of Paris with Mickey and Minnie.”

In March the New Yorker also attempted to find out who the mysterious Jim is -- unsuccessfully. They proposed plenty of men named Jim which Trump was either friendly with or worked with previously, but were unable to find him.

So is Jim even real?

Let us remind you that Trump -- yes, the President of the United States of America -- has admitted to making up fake people in the past, so it's not below him to possibly make up a Jim to push a narrative.

In 2016, The Washington Post reported that Trump previously posed as men, named John Barron and John Miller, to act as a bragging spokesperson for himself. Trump denied the allegations, but the Post also dug up a lawsuit from 1990, in which Trump confirmed that he had previously used the name John Barron.

“I believe on occasion I used that name,” Trump said at the time.

It's a simple fix, really. The White House can tell the world the true identity of Trump's friend Jim. Until then, the world will speculate that Jim is very much an imaginary person.
