What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

Why don’t people show patriot Donald Trump the respect he deserves? He’s successful in business, politics, and with the ladies.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Is Daenerys Targaryen really the most beautiful woman, or is everyone saying that just to flatter her?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
