Repeated sleep disruptions, and misleading clock-dayt-delite saving time has been a source of disappointment for many Americans for a long time. Many leaders and policy makers have called for abolishing this bifurcated ritual.
Debate has been going on for decades on daylight saving time. Recently, US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk gave their opinion on the matter. Meanwhile, the US Congress has a law under consideration to end the practice of switching the law permanently twice a year.
While some summer the daylight hours and support the idea of ​​returning to standard time in winter, others argue that the practice is chronic and disruptive. However, despite the strong opinion on both sides, a permanent change has proved to be a challenge.
There is a look at the debate going on here and why it is difficult to remove with the time of saving daylight.
Trump’s stance at the time of saving daylight
Trump initially appeared to support the ending of the delay saving time, but his recent comments show that he may not be fully committed to the idea.
In a December social media post, Trump criticized the bipolar clock change, saying, “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate the daylight saving time, with a small but strong constituency, but not! The time of the day is uncomfortable, and is very expensive for our nation.”
However, a few months later, his stance looked less certain. Signing the executive orders on Thursday, Trump accepted the ongoing debate, called it a “fifty-fifty issue”. He said, “This is something I can do, but many people like it in a way, many people like it in another way.”
Dellite saving time transfers sunrise and sunset after one hour, affecting the daily routine. Pointing to divided ideas, Trump said, “I think people want more light later, but some want more light before they do not want to take their children to school in the dark.”
Meanwhile, billionaire Elon Musk shook the debate by organizing a pole on X, asked users if they prefer adjustments before or later if the practice was abolished. More than 1.3 million people participated, with 58% voting for a later innings and 42% earlier in favor of one.
While the debate continues at the daylight saving time, Trump’s development stance suggests that any possible change is uncertain.
