Donald Trump has promised to eliminate US Daylight Savings Time when he enters office. I guess he forgets that the President isn't a king and cannot eliminate it by decree. He'd have to get Congress to agree. That said, it's an interesting dilemma. On the one hand, it's not wildly popular all over the place, but it's been used for over a century in the US. Hard to break old habits.

It's a non-partisan issue, and I'm for getting rid of the need to reset clocks 2x each year, even if with modern technology, many of my devices automatically update as needed. Maybe it'll be better or worse for safety and energy usage.

What do you think?

I think he said we should look into getting rid of it. Never said he Will get rid of it. . Still tweaking his words into leftist rant. Different than saying ‘ I will not pardon my son, no one is above the law.. another part of the Biden legacy.. a weak and stupid presidency .

A definitely lose it:thumbsup: . Some countries around the world have done away with it and some states here have too so it should be decided by the state government.

Whatever he does will be better than what Biden administration has done. Its great we have a change for the better in USA. D. Trump can not just change anything he wants because He is President. I am sure most people already know that. :)
I say lose daylight savings time. I am an early morning person and like daylight Early.

No, yeah. If it's ended, some kids in Northern states will be going to school in the dark, but according to studies, the changes come with increased traffic accidents, so maybe eliminating that hassle will save some lives.

We need to set some standards happy as in standard time year round. And not by the time some want it to be, the out of touch government decided and created daylight saving time a long time ago so I say dump it.

Oh my goodness there are two states that do not even follow Daylight Savings time Arizona and Hawaii.... It should be left up to each State anyway..

I would rather have longer Daylight in the evenings..

I'm all for ending this back and forth crap..

It seems no matter what Trump says you will be against it even if it is a good thing~~~slaphead

I haven't changed a clock in almost 40 years living in Arizona. Kinda nice. But we still have to deal with the rest of ya all changing your clocks when dealing with things related to phone calls, etc.
