Trump Sees Daylight Saving Time as Divisive Issue

President Donald Trump has indicated he has no immediate plans to change the daylight saving time system, citing it as a '50-50 issue' with no clear consensus among Americans. Although he previously expressed a desire to abolish the practice, he now highlights the division in public opinion, with some preferring more light in the evenings and others in the mornings due to concerns like children going to school in the dark. Despite a bipartisan bill called the Sunshine Protection Act aiming to make daylight saving time permanent, it has stalled in Congress. Trump acknowledged he could advocate for a change but noted the difficulty in acting on issues lacking strong public support. Historically, daylight saving time has been observed in most of the U.S. since the 1960s, with exceptions like Arizona and Hawaii. The daylight saving time switch occurs this Sunday, with clocks moving forward by one hour.
