    French anger erupted this weekend at Trump’s comments to the National Rifle Association — and especially at his trigger-firing hand gesture imitating the Bataclan attackers. Multiple extremists with explosive belts and assault weapons killed 130 people in the 2015 attacks on the Bataclan, Paris cafes and the national stadium.

    Hollande, president during the attacks, called Trump’s gesture “obscene.” Speaking to BFM television Sunday, Hollande called Trump’s comments “intolerable” for the survivors and victims’ families.

    France’s government vigorously defended its gun controls and pressure mounted on President Emmanuel Macron to demand an apology from Trump despite their friendly relationship.

    I’m sure that many people would be alive today if “someone” in the crowd would have had a gun in France

    Yup, your post validates your name as a total idiot.

    Trump pressure, caused the North Korean despot to crack , making the entire world SAFER.

    Obama’s deal with Iran, made the world UNSAFER

    So stop with constant bashing of YOUR president, whether you like it or not , he is the President of the ENTIRE USA, elected fair & square & beat that scumbag Hillary by a landslide.
