    To avoid confusion, all of the US will be on DTT (Donald Trump Time), which will vary based on where he currently is.

    Gonna piss off the farmers, until they get their subsidiary check for growing corn (for high fructose corn syrup) instead of feeding the population.

      Everything will piss off the farmers.

      Removing daylight saving is actually something they want, because it fucks with their routine, but sure, they’ll be pissed off about removing it too.

    I mean, I have no great love for DST, but I have no faith that they can do anything but completely fuck it up somehow. Whatever results will be at best, no measurable improvement, but at least a monumental pain in the ass for those who have to do the work to keep shit on schedule during the morass.

      If they’re using the 2022 bill they’re already fucking it up. Kids are going to be walking to school in the dark in winter and get hit by cars because they want to pretend that we’re a few thousand miles east of where we actually are.

    Seeing a lot of talk on here about keeping Standard or DST.

    Oh my God for the love of all that’s holy just let them pick one!

    I don’t care if the sun comes up at 2:00am or 2:00pm or even if the sun fuckin’ sets at 12:00 noon. Just pick a time and stick with it. Holy shitsnax.

      This has been in talks for years already. This is not a Trump thing The Senate passed the act that would have removed it unanimously in 2022

    We need to keep daylight savings and eliminate standard time. We’re on standard time right now. I hate it getting dark at 5pm.

    Will y’all shut the fuck up and act like you don’t want this? You’re going to ruin it.

    We absolutely need to start protesting this so he makes it a priority.

      Dang, I sure do love that Obama created daylight savings time. I hope it never goes away. Thanks Obama!

      This is literally how to shape his entire presidency and keep him from completely destroying the country. This move right here, every time.

      Let’s make a list of things and how to complain and stick to the script.

      I’ll go first. Man, I love tariffs!

        The only way that Democrats will eventually come out on top here is massive tariffs. We have to get the word out and thank Donald Trump for his concept of a plan on tariffs.

    I want it to stay sprung forward, can’t remember if that’s DST or non. I feel like I’m in the minority, but fuck if I care if it’s dark in the morning I want sunlight for longer once I’m done working…

      DST is sprung forward. It happens in the summer. Standard time is what the northern hemisphere is on now in the winter.

      Fun fact. In the winter the sun is pretty close to its highest at Noon but I the summer that happens at 1:00 pm.

        I suppose it makes some difference how far East to West you are in your timezone too, but this time of year I’m dark on my way to work and dark on my way home, if we were still in DST I’d have an hour of sunlight still after work. It’s only about 6 weeks that are that extreme for me but I’d still prefer DST. And I love the long summer nights when it’s light until almost 10 lol

      The EU’s proposed DST abolishment proposal would go to permanent DST time, too.

      Unfortunate that it has been in the back burner for so long. It would genuinely be a good boon for the EU tech industry to abolish DST lol.

      Same. This was part of Rubio’s “Sunshine Protection” think a couple years back, but does NOT seem to be part of that Trump has discussed so far.

    I don’t know who chose that headlining image of him pointing (and looking) at the sun, but it’s perfect.
