Because on standard time you would still get ample daylight in the afternoons in Summer while avoiding the idiocy of it being dark until after 8:00 in the morning during the winter.

Trump is talking about leaving the way it is right now and not changing in March.

In 2019, in a text that was opposite, Trump said he was all for changing it to Daylight Saving Time in March and leaving it THAT way.

No idea why he changed his position.

Because he is a populist who will say whatever entertains the crowd.

99% chance he confused the two and he actually wants DST to be permanent, which is the more popular position.

I’m failing to see the issue. Give me dark until 8am for a few months over the idiocy of being dark at 5pm for a few months.

Do you not live within the normal confines of society? What time it gets dark absolutely affects everyone. We all understand the total hours of sunlight is the same either way.


During this time of the year, I get to work in the dark and leave in the dark. Time doesn’t matter. When it’s light out later doesn’t change the total sunlight time. Adjust your schedule

ETA: not a hill I’m willing to die on but why change the time? Adjust your schedule to the sun

I get the distinct idea that we have otherwise fairly intelligent people that believe DST actually adds an hour of daylight to the day.


Not really. Just people that don’t understand what people mean when they say “adding daylight”.

He should demand that the sun shine for 13 hours in the winter, and 16 hours in the summer.

And while he's at it he needs to change pi to 3.00000.

You’ve had some silly ones, but this is one of your sillier comments in this thread.

Americans are dumb and think because the days are longer in summer it's because of daylight saving time.



It has nothing to do with the length of the day and everything to do with the typical American schedule.

Same. I really don’t care which one they pick, just pick one. Or adjust it 30 mins and meet in the middle. I’m about 90 miles from the mountain time line, sun setting after 8 is pretty nice when the boat launch is only 18 mins from my house.
