Media captionTrump mimics Paris attackers killing victims to underline support for gun ownership
US President Donald Trump has outraged French opinion by suggesting the 2015 attacks on Paris could have been stopped by giving people guns.

He mimicked gunmen summoning and shooting victims one by one, saying "Boom! Come over here!" and using his hand to imitate a gun being fired.

In reality, the attackers sprayed many of their 130 victims with semi-automatic fire and set off bomb belts.

The French foreign ministry called for the victims' memory to be respected.

"France expresses its firm disapproval of the comments by President Trump about the attacks of 13 November 2015 in Paris and asks for the memory of the victims to be respected," the foreign ministry said.

Paris attacks: What happened on the night

François Hollande, who was French president at the time of the attacks, said Mr Trump's remarks were "shameful". They "said a lot about what he thinks of France and its values", he added.

Manuel Valls, who was France's prime minister in 2015, tweeted: "Indecent and incompetent. What more can I say?"

In the same speech to the National Rifle Association (NRA) in Dallas, Texas, the US president criticised the level of knife crime in London, comparing one of the city's hospitals to a "war zone".

A senior London surgeon, Prof Karim Brohi, hit back by saying it was "ridiculous" to suggest guns could help combat knife violence.

What did Trump say exactly?
"Paris, France, has the toughest gun laws in the world..." he told the NRA.

"Nobody has guns in Paris, nobody, and we all remember more than 130 people, plus tremendous numbers of people that were horribly, horribly wounded. Did you notice that nobody ever talks about them?

"They were brutally killed by a small group of terrorists that had guns. They took their time and gunned them down one by one. Boom! Come over here. Boom! Come over here. Boom!

"But if one employee or just one patron had a gun, or if just one person in this room had been there with a gun, aimed at the opposite direction, the terrorists would have fled or been shot."

What happened on 13 November 2015?
In an attack claimed by the Islamic State group, jihadists rampaged across the French capital, initially firing on cafe-goers.

In the deadliest assault, they shot rock fans inside the Bataclan concert hall, killing 89 people.

Attackers either died at the scene or were killed in a subsequent police raid. One suspect, Salah Abdeslam, survived and is now in prison in France.

Has Emmanuel Macron reacted to Trump?
There was no immediate response from the French president who only recently had cordial talks with Mr Trump in Washington.

However, the French foreign ministry made clear its rejection of Mr Trump's allegations.

"Every country freely decides on its own laws on carrying firearms, as in other areas," it said. "France is proud to be a country where acquiring and carrying firearms is strictly regulated."

The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, tweeted that President Trump's depiction of the 2015 attacks was "scornful and unworthy".

La mise en scène des attentats de 2015 par le Président #Trump est méprisante et indigne. Fluctuat nec mergitur.

The guy is an embarrassment, the tens of thousands registered gun owners in Las Vegas couldn't stop that maniac slaughtering people, but then the lying senile old cunt has probably forgotten about that.

[bolueeleh]

tens of thousands hillbillies with guns, not sharpshooters, nobody can shoot up into the hotel windows in those lighting conditions except this man... hero....fictional character.... or the older folks called it cartoon man

"Words fail me". It could be worse
Trump is never at a loss for words, just thought.

I'd be surprised.

I honestly can’t see the man being this stupid. I actually think he is just doing shit to see what he can actually get away with.

If the rumors are true and he actually never wanted to win and become president, would he really be that pissed off if he was removed from office? He had a pretty cushy life before becoming president and I honestly think he misses the old life and wants out. He’s just trying to get them to impeach him, then he can claim it was all a set up and go back to his old life.

It could just be he hates everybody and doesn't give a ferk

This sounds hilarious. Does anyone have a link that works ?

Stormy Daniels warns Trump on SNL 'storm's a coming baby'

The Saturday Night Live sketch featured actors Alec Baldwin as Mr Trump and Ben Stiller as Mr Cohen.

In it, Baldwin playing Mr Trump instructs his lawyer to "call up Stormy Daniels and fix this once and for all" and keep him on the line to listen in.

Ms Daniels herself answers the phone to loud whoops from the audience.

Stiller calls Ms Daniels and asks if she's alone, with Baldwin as Mr Trump then interrupting with: "And what are you wearing?"
