Trump vows to eliminate Daylight Saving Time
(www.thecentersquare.com)
Right after lowering grocery prices.
Broken clock.
A broken clock can be right three times a day, if it breaks between 2AM and 3AM on the day of the DST change....
Or more often, if it runs backwards. Far less often if it runs fast or slow.

this would be pretty good. i hope he's not full of shit on this one thing
Good.
The extra hour of sunshine cannot be good for global temperatures.
I'm assuming you're joking, but I'm also assuming some morons actually believe this.

Trump says lots of things.
Who knows which he will actually try to do?
Or how many of those things he will actually succeed at?
Exactly "Trump vow" = "hot air"
Finally something I can support
The Sunlight Protection Act has been put up several times and passed by the Senate as recently as 2022. It sits in a committee at this time. I'm sure trump will take credit if it works its way through.

So states he can't fix greedflation and moves to checks notes ....eliminating daylight savings. Pretty fuckin low on the list...
I'd rather be on savings time year round but yeah, the switch is the worst.

The fun is in trying to figure out how this will be profitable for him.
Nice low-effort distraction from endless high crimes against America maybe.
Fingers crossed that this gives us an extra hour of sunshine after work instead of before. It's so depressing to leave the office at 4pm and it's already dark out.

I'm fine with that, but I think we should settle on Daylight Savings time. You know, when time is an hour ahead of what it is now.
Standard time is the WORST. My political party might be permanent Daylight Savings Time

I support standard time more, the 12 o clock at the center of the timezone should be noon, not having noon at 1PM, and day lengths are better on average without. DST makes it better, but only for sunset times, it makes the mornings drastically worse and I think employers and schools should just change their hours if they care so much about sunlight when they leave.
I support daylight savings time more and all of those regions where the sun doesn't rise before 7AM can switch time zones.
For example, all of the USA switches to permanent daylight savings time, and the western portion of Texas that sees 0 days with a sunrise before 7 AM switches to the Mountain time zone. Now they will experience sunrise before 7 AM much more often.

Just trying to distract the public from any number of his fucked up shit
Instead of squawking over which to have, how about we all just uze Zulu time and eliminate the timezone confusion as well?
Then you will have different work hours everywhere. Chaos.
Or you would need to force a lot of people to work at strange hours.

Extra hour of sunlight for golf no doubt.
That would be permanent Daylight Savings, not eliminating it.
Though I'm not sure he or many others know the difference.
Half the people cheering the elimination of DST actually want permanent DST. Can't wait for this to go through, morons will get what they asked for instead of what they wanted. Theyre going to spend the extra hour of sun asleep in their beds.
