Tom Cotton’s arguments against the change to permanent time are valid.
While I only see sporadic news, it does seem Trump is getting a bit out of sorts. AND this is a problem.

Daylight savings is dumb

Seriously? Nobody I know likes daylight savings time.

If the issue is it being dark at school drop off time, then why not move the start time later?

I can’t think of anything that symbolizes how dysfunctional our government has become than not being able to settle an issue that is both backed by science AND highly desirable with not just a single party but ALL voting adults in the US. Stay on or move off permanent DST – I don’t care. But let’s quit switching time twice a year. It’s so bad for us as a society.

As usual, the foundation of the point is solid but he then builds it like a drunk sailor.
Getting rid of daylight savings is solid, posting the phone number is stupid.

Trump used to know that Standard Time is what we should stick to. I don’t know why he’s suddenly backing this stupid bill that would result in permanent DST.

Lame if accurate. His inner circle should advise him to stop alienating and provoking his Congressional allies. Marco should teach him diplomacy.

Trump is on the wrong side of this issue. Mornings are supposed to be light. Evenings are supposed to be dark.
Daylight Saving Time messes with our body’s sleep cycle. We need light in the mornings. We need it to get dark at a reasonable time in the evening. We essentially adjust the clock to do everything an hour early for eight months of the year. Why?
What people don’t like are fall and winter where the days naturally are shorter.

based. down with standard.

Considering that ending the changeover is the one big non-partisan partisan issue of our time… I think we’re gonna be stuck with it for a long time still.

Here is the big question, not Tom Cotton, not Trump but why the hell are many of you folks so pissed about it. This is not like the rest of his stuff, it is stupid to be this upset and angry over this.
More proof that the divide in this country is growing. AND BOTH SIDES ARE AT FAULT

Why is THIS the hill he’s willing to fight for?

Yes yes, it’s already been tried, and it was a disaster.
Just another case of history being forgotten and people trying to repeat it.
Keep daylight saving. Yeah, it sucks in Spring, but no one complains in Fall, and having daylight in the mornings is surprisingly important.

I really don’t care what the issue is – this was inappropriate for Trump to do. His office number, sure. His personal cell on the other hand was wrong and he absolutely should apologize and he should do it publicly.
It’s becoming a bit of pickle because there’s no question how much Trump has done to try and get things back on track but there’s been some seriously counterproductive nonsense lately and the uncivil nonsense to what amounts to an ally over something relatively trivial is wearing awfully thin.

Why can’t we just change the clocks in the spring to one hour forward and keep it there? I just don’t understand the entire going in the dark to school argument. Anyone who participated in winter after school activities went home in the dark, which is the same as going to school in the dark.

And yet…
There will be hordes of individuals proclaiming “Trump” is bad,see what Trump did?,im so fed up with Trump,etc,etc …..
Not yet has it sunk in that “Trump” does not make law nor can he change it…
Pissed because a law,whether beneficial or annoying?…..look at Congress,all those (biden)”I did that” stickers were cute I suppose but in reality,the potato head was merely the face of “the party” and a spokesman for those who rule the country via “law”
Congress is your boogie man,doesn’t matter who holds high office,every Congress is the same uniparty it’s been for 60+ years…Cotton, by example of following his constituents wishes,demonstrated this perfectly.

Don’t care about Cotton’s phone number. Getting rid of DST is something I care about. Not much tho. Lots of other things I care about much more (like the cost of diesel).
