“Republicans in the Senate have to get moving on what I call the ‘No More Changing of Clocks Act,’ officially known as The Sunshine Protection Act, a ridiculous Clock changing process that takes place twice a year, costs our Country a fortune, is bad for Crime, stress on people, Sports, and just about everything else you can imagine. Even the highly respected PGA Commissioner, Brian Rolapp, needs it for the completion of Golf Tournaments in the Winter, when they just plain run out of sunlight. People don’t want to go around changing their Clocks anymore and, besides, far and away, most people like having an hour of extra sunlight in the evening, rather than in the morning.”
“The House has passed this Bill, 308-117, on July 14, 2026, with Great Bipartisan support. Both Democrats and Republicans want it to happen. It’s now up to the US Senate where it would be another Great Bipartisan Victory. Unfortunately, it’s being held up by Senator Tom Cotton, of Arkansas, for reasons unknown. People are sick and tired of having to change their Clocks twice a year. Even most farmers would rather have additional time in the evening to harvest their crops. It is foolish, inconvenient and, in some cases, very costly. For Cities and States with Watchtowers, and hard to reach places, it costs Millions of Dollars,” posted convicted felon President Trump just after midnight Friday and just gotta stop there because it appears the fat bastard seriously just confused “clock towers” with “Watchtowers.” Very on-brand, both the dementia-induced word slip and bizarre, forced concern for workers having to manually adjust the arms/gears of however many large, public analog clocks exist whose owners/operators actually bother to change for DST.
“A recent case was made that it is also bad for your health in the anxiety it creates. Leading Medical, Crime, and Economic Studies have shown, conclusively, that ceasing the biannual time change, giving us one extra hour of natural sunlight in the evenings, will help Decrease Robbery and Murder Rates, Reduce Car Accidents (especially those involving Pedestrians!), Lower Risk for Cardiac Issues, Stroke, and Seasonal Depression, Make It Safer for Children to Walk Home from School, Increase Time with your Family, Strongly Support Extracurricular Activities, Boost the Sports, Fitness, Tourism, Retail, and Restaurant Industries (and more!), and Save Money on Energy Bills, because everyone will be enjoying an EXTRA HOUR OF DAYLIGHT. In other words, leave it as it is now, and never change it again. But importantly, with a 100 percent approval rating, is that NOBODY wants to change their Clocks twice a year. This is an issue that Republicans, Democrats, and Independents can unite behind!” Trump finally concluded at the end of the 378-word post.
He’s right. As insane and malevolent as Trump is and has always been, on this subject, minus the weird “watchtower” shit and blatant lies about scientific and public consensus, there’s really no good reason to not switch to year-round Daylight Saving Time. Anti-year-round-DSTers might have their opinions and admittedly valid concerns about the safety of schoolchildren in the morning (for which school districts should themselves find ways to adjust, like staggered hours that they should be doing anyway under the current regime) but the fact is that DST was lengthened by a few weeks on both sides in 2007 and the world didn’t end then. All it did was undermine their arguments.
