    If I remember correctly, the issue last time is that they wanted us on permanent Daylight Savings Time, instead of Standard Time. So I expect Trump to force the U.S. onto permanent DST, just because all science says it would be worse for us than going to Standard.

      I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I want permanent DST. I want it to be light when I get home so I can spend some time outside without a flashlight. I don’t care if it’s dark in the morning, I’m working. Don’t tell me to just work different hours, I already work 6am-3pm, which is the earliest I’m allowed at my current job, and a lot earlier than allowed by many jobs. I still only get about an hour before dark where I live.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

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

        Some, if not all people agree that this makes him the YUGEST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME
