PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump should have shown some “common decency” and respect France’s day of mourning on the third anniversary of the Nov 13 attacks in Paris, the French government’s spokesman said on Wednesday.

Asked about Trump’s tweets, in which the U.S. leader criticized France’s record in World War One and Two, French government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said:

“Yesterday was Nov 13, we were commemorating the murder of 130 of our people,” he said. “So I’ll reply in English: ‘common decency’ would have been appropriate.”

1. Not in his vocabulary or repertoire of reactions.

Decency, that is.

[pamdb]

2. pumpkin head

Those are two words you don't often see in the same sentence; trump and decency.

[ck4829]

3. You must be new here, France

30% of Americans think decency is socialism.

[dalton99a]

7. +1.

[JDC]

19. Exactly

[DonViejo]

4. Oh hell, Trump couldn't be bothered to honor WWI victims in France and then here on Veterans Day...

what makes France think he'll show some “common decency” and respect for 130 slaughtered French?

5. The Art of Respect 101

He won’t pass this class at all.

[Coventina]

6. Plus an American foreign exchange student.

I had one of my own students in Paris at the time of the attack.

But, Twitler doesn't care about anyone but himself.

A true sociopath.

[brush]

12. Yes. It's so obvious all of a sudden. Sociopath is the word we/ve been looking for...

to describe trump.

[vlyons]

8. Common decency

Is that not the heart of the problem? I'll say it again - COMMON DECENCY. You know, the golden rule. Polite manners amidst company. Graciousness towards guests. Respect and gratitude towards hosts. Courteously being on time. Consideration for others. Expressions of good cheer and commeraderie. Thank-yous. Ladies first.

What do we learn? Money don't buy class.

[Lucky Luciano]

10. That sort of thing is just so politically correct!

“We elected him as push back to politically correct BS that blocked us from being who we really are and now we can say what we really want all the time now!!”

[vlyons]

11. Yes yes, now Trumpsters are free

to be the selfish, rude, foul-mouthed, pushy losers that we always knew you to be.

[SWBTATTReg]

22. When I saw the protester being led out of a rump rally get elbowed in the face by a ...

rumpathetic loser, this told me more than anything what losers and bullies rump supporters are. When the going gets tough, they run screaming and yelling off into the distance (just like rump going and pouting after the midterms lately).

Cowards. And we're not done yet. We're not done until this horrible stain on American values is washed away and the stench aired out. When 2020 comes, the gop tricks will fail, and the screaming and yelling by rump fanatics will fall on deaf ears. No one will want to listen to them any longer.

9. If trump still wonders why he was never accepted

by New York society, let me help you out sir.
It is "because you are a pig"!

[sakabatou]

13. Decency? Trump doesn't do that

[dlk]

14. Trump Couldn't Care Less

A malignant narcissist is incapable of empathy. It is a complete waste of time to expect any normal, decent human emotions from Trump. He has shamed and humiliated our entire country on the world stage and he has done it repeatedly. This is all we will ever get from this sorry excuse of a man.

[caballojm]

15. Decency??? Trump??? Who knew the French were so good at comedy?

[jon k]

18. Jerry Lewis, baby!

[infullview]

16. Just remember that 41% of US voters stand with tRump

We really are that bad as a country at this time. The narrative has to change in the media to turn this around. If you listen to any of the Sinclair stations, all you hear is hate speech. It must be called out for what it is and people like Laura Ingraham, Rush Limburger, Micheal Savage, Howie Carr, and Alex Jones must be put out to pasture. We can start by putting public trust regulations back in place for broadcasters. It won't affect cable, but it would affect any content that goes over the airwaves.

17. I want to see if his behaviour makes a difference in the polls.

20. Good one, France!!

He has none

[Cryptoad]

21. SLugs are encapable of Decency

[apnu]

23. LOL France! Trump won't show decency to his own wife and kid.

Why would he show decency to you?

[Brother Buzz]

24. It's a good thing they wrestled his tweeter machine away before....

he tweeted Groundskeeper Willie's words

[riversedge]

25. Cruelty and Vindictiveness are #Trumps trademarks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Decency? Trump?

Yeah, right. If my aunt had wheels she'd be a pastry cart.

[tavernier]

27. They should have said that he is old and frail

and afraid to go out in the rain so that he doesn’t catch pneumonia.

Now THAT would piss him off.
