Quote:Trump Weighs Executive Order to Suspend Daylight Saving Time
Last updated 48 minutes ago

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering an executive order to temporarily halt Daylight Saving Time changes ahead of the November 2 clock adjustment, awaiting congressional action for a permanent solution. His positions have shifted over time, including support for permanent DST in 2019 and calls to eliminate the biannual shifts in 2024, with recent emphasis on extending evening daylight. Public opinions on social media remain split between favoring year-round DST for later sunsets and standard time for earlier sunrises, amid frustrations over sleep disruptions and stalled bills like the 2022 Sunshine Protection Act.

Impose upon the people the option that most don't want to force Congress to formally address it.

Nope. That's why I said the original post from DHS is confusing. Trump is suspending the switch back to Standard Time on Nov. 2, thus making Daylight Savings Time permanent until Congress can change it to that permanently.

who gives a shite if he doesn't know the difference between standard and savings...

What's going to happen if Trump does this (because Trump did it) is states are going to pass their own laws and we're going have blue states with one time and red states with another time. lmao

Exactly!. But no splitting the baby, lol. Full DST permanently.

Last poll I saw was basically split between the two choices. That's why Trump didn't do it before. He didn't want to piss off half the country. Now, in his second term, he doesn't care so much, lol.
