President-elect Donald Trump said Friday he will work to end daylight savings time, putting his weight behind a long-debated effort that would require congressional action.
Trump announced his push to make standard time year-round ‒ ending semi-annual time changes ‒ in a post on his social media site Truth Social.
“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t!” Trump wrote. “Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient and very costly to our Nation.”
I’d like to see Daylight Savings Time all year round so we’d get rid of darkness at 4:30, but I understand it’s different in other parts of the country.

Fiddling with the clock doesn’t change the length of the day.
It never made any sense.
The length of the day changes during the year. It is my opinion that at noon in the center of the Time Zone the sun should be at it’s zenith. The way things are currentl, we are forcing peoples’ bodies away from the natural rythym based on natural light. If we really want to MAHA this should be studied. At the equater a time zone is about a 1,000 miles wide. Would we be healthier with 48 time zones?
Still no idea why we’ve maintained this for decades. It’s useless and adds nothing. Wait, maybe that’s why government has been keeping it…..Huh.
Good. I don’t like it getting dark at 4:30.
Almost the dumbest law ever made.
He wants to keeping Standard time, not Daylight savings time. So getting dark earlier will be forever.
