Trump Proposes Ending Daylight Saving Time

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to eliminate Daylight Saving Time (DST), labeling it as 'inconvenient' and 'costly' for the nation. He stated that the Republican Party will actively work to abolish the practice, which has a small but vocal support base. Critics of DST argue that the biannual clock changes disrupt sleep patterns and offer minimal energy savings, while supporters highlight potential economic benefits from extended evening daylight. Trump's push aligns with ongoing legislative efforts, including the stalled Sunshine Protection Act, which sought to make DST permanent. Notably, some states have already passed legislation to end the clock changes, reflecting a growing debate over the necessity of DST. The conversation continues as many Americans express a preference for permanent DST rather than the current system.
