Daylight Saving Time: Clocks Spring Forward Tonight—Trump Says He’s Undecided on Making Changes
Topline
As Americans prepare to set their clocks forward by one hour tonight for daylight saving time, former President Donald Trump has softened his stance on eliminating the time change. Speaking Thursday, Trump called it a “50-50 issue,” backing away from earlier remarks where he labeled the practice “inconvenient.”
Key Facts
- During a conversation in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump was asked if he planned to end daylight saving time. His response: “It’s a 50-50 issue, and if something’s a 50-50 issue, it’s hard to get excited about it.”
- Trump acknowledged that while many people enjoy having more daylight in the evening, others prefer more morning light—especially parents who don’t want their kids going to school in the dark.
- “It’s something I can do,” Trump said, “but a lot of people like it one way, a lot like it the other way. It’s very even. And usually when that’s the case, I ask—what else do we have to do?”
