Unsurprisingly, it's for the benefit of golf. What's more, in the same post, he doxxed a Republican senator by revealing his personal cell phone number.

"Everybody in Arkansas, [Senator] Tom Cotton (R-AK), a friend of mine, is holding up a very important Bill," posted the president. "It’s called, 'The Sunshine Protection Act' or, 'We Don’t Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act.' For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it’s very easy to do, it only takes one! It should pass overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion. So, everyone in Arkansas, a State I love, and won 3 times, the last by by 34 points, tell Tom to, GET IT DONE! It will be appreciated by all. Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning!"

Farmers literally don’t care what time it is. They aren’t waiting until 9am to do work their fields, they are going out when they should regardless of the time. No farmer is going to say “damn, sure would be nice to work on my field, but it’s only 5am so I can’t go out yet.”

Just start the event earlier you moron. Jesus this guy is thick. I don't like changing the clocks either, but that is the dumbest reason to stop.

I don't care why he's doing it, I just want it done.

I don't see anything wrong with giving out Senator's numbers. Do they serve the people or not? Do this more often. Like, constantly.

I’ve worked swingshift for over 20 years and trust me when I say it, the switch from daylight savings in the winter and in the springtime is always a struggle for that week afterwards, this would be a welcomed improvement, but I’m not going to give this win to Donny if it even happens at all. I know that this has been an ongoing thing for longer than I can remember actually.

Trump is an asshole, but we should adopt permanent something. I don't care if it's DST or standard time as long as we stop changing the clocks.

The article notes people in northern states tend to be more opposed to permanent DST. It seems odd to me nobody has seriously proposed splitting time zones north/south, i.e. New York would be on Eastern Standard Time, and Florida would be on Atlantic Standard Time - an hour later, equivalent to Eastern Daylight Time.

Imagine having the power to change a country's clocks permanently while still being a degenerate pedophile. Now that's multi-tasking!

I WANNA PLAY* GOLF BUT I WANNA SLEEP LATE!

There's plenty of golfers out on the greens at the crack of dawn, but it ain't gonna be Fatty.

*cheat at

We need to go to permanent standard time. Just fall back on November 1st and never change the clocks again.

In the show Veep, there's a character who goes on a very myopic crusade against daylight saving time

He's doing it because Canada has already done it

Most of the provinces gave months of prep that this was happening.

Wow. I never thought I’d read something I agree with. Longer evenings are a win. Do it you miserable old rapist, make one positive change in this life.

Idc why he’s doing it, it just needs to get done. The oppressive anticipation of “Fall back” is looming again and I don’t want to do it.

broken clock is right twice a year

Me

I mean I find it annoying. It feels like the time switch leans harder in the direction time is already shifting, making it feel more like a 2 hour switch. So just remembering what a certain time means at a certain point of the year seems to make more intuitive sense.

But if it's gonna benefit golfers at all, I suggest changing blocks 4 times a year, or however many times would make golf impossible. I fucking hate golf and I hate golf enjoyers, because they tend to be old rich white people.

So anytime to make golfers suffer is a win in my book.

I live in Western Australia and we abolished daylight savings back in 2009. It has had no discernable difference in my life other than not having to wake up for work too early for a week once per year.

Literally the only downside is forgetting if the eastern states are two or three hours ahead when scheduling anything with someone over east.

A broken clock is right twice per day, even with daylight savings.

Ok maybe it's not a distraction from the Epstein files just this once.

Aaah who am I kidding of course it is.

Who still has clocks they need to change and don't have a reason for liking that specific clock? If you like analog clocks I doubt you care about setting it. If you don't, what clock do you still own that needs resetting? I drive old cars so that's one I guess,and the stove. That's it

DST is mostly because of golf, and that's reason enough we should abolish it.

ETA: if you play golf, I hate you. You are helping to prop up decades of systemic oppression. Fuck your lawns and your country clubs and your gated communities and your evening sunlight.

I mean, that's why William Willett proposed DST in the first place, so it tracks.

I don't like changing the clocks around and do (since I can't change my work schedule or when yoga class is) like DST better. Like most office jobs, where I work nobody notices if you come in early but if you stay later they think you are doing more than you actually are.

But if we have to change them, it is at least this year on the best day it could possibly be, we get one more hour of Halloween.

And school should start at 9am either way. That whole argument about kids waiting in the dark, because of DST, is because school starts at like 0730, what the fuck? Let the kids sleep until 7 at least.
