    This is US internal news, normally we would remove it, but in the interest of discussion, I would like to know if you think this should be allowed or not.

    Perhaps the rule should be better clarified as “submission should be an internationally significant event”?

      How is this internationally significant, though? Trump says something dumb or insensitive on a daily basis.

        you are right. this is predictable shitty trump stuff. outlets keep pumping out trumpian headlines because the articles constantly get clicked on. ultimately, posts like these are only serving his interests by promoting him.

      Yes, please. There are forums that are specific to US news only, and one called “world news” should be for events that are interesting to everyone in the world reading them. An ex president / presidential candidate saying something stupid isn’t that. Neither is a billionaire putting his 3 cents in, or news about their company.

      I don’t think it should be allowed. It doesn’t affect anywhere other than the US and isn’t internationally significant.

        World news doesn’t mean “news about everything in the world”, it means “news that impact the entire world”.

          Go ahead and look at a lot of the articles shared here. Many of them don’t impact the world. Many barely impact the country they originate from.
