Trump Calls for Permanent Daylight Saving Time

Former President Donald Trump has publicly stated his support for making Daylight Saving Time permanent. In a statement, Trump called on Congress to push "for more Daylight at the end of a day," which appears to be a call for the end of biannual time changes.

Currently, most of the United States observes Daylight Saving Time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. This means clocks are moved forward one hour in the spring and back one hour in the fall. Making Daylight Saving Time permanent would eliminate the need to change clocks twice a year.

Supporters of permanent Daylight Saving Time argue that it would reduce energy consumption, decrease traffic accidents, and boost the economy. They also claim it would improve people's health and well-being by providing more daylight hours in the evening. However, opponents argue that it would lead to darker mornings during the winter months, which could negatively impact school children and workers. The debate over permanent Daylight Saving Time has been ongoing for years, and it remains to be seen whether Congress will take action on the issue.
