Trump’s Vow To End Daylight Saving Pits Morning People Vs. Everyone Else

Donald Trump promised on Friday to end Daylight Saving Time, a move that has already sparked fierce debate on social media between people who prefer more daylight in the morning and those who want some extra sunshine later in the evening.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that Daylight Saving Time (DST) is “inconvenient” and “very costly to our Nation,” vowing that the GOP would “use its best efforts to eliminate” the time that we recognize for eight months out of the year. Ending the time change is one of the most popular positions among the American people, but how we put an end to the time change matters.

You have to pick which time we’re going to recognize year-round.

Many people, including our president-elect apparently, aren’t fans of DST. Sleep experts, doctors, and those who love to be awake early in the morning say that Standard Time is the way to go year-round.

I think morning people and evening people alike want DST to end. It doesn't really matter where the sun is nowadays... most communities are 24 hour communities and even those that aren't don't like DST...

I hope it finally ends.

I don't like time change. But I do like having more sunlight in the evening rather than very early in the morning. I can remember when I was working in Saskatchewan that in the summer the sun would rise at 4:45 a.m. although of course the sky was light an hour before that. On those same days the sun would go down a little after 9:00 pm. Since I usually didn't get home from work till 7:30 pm (I regularly worked an almost 12-hour day in the newsroom, which once in a while could stretch to over 30 hours), it made for a very short evening if I wanted to sit outside. I much preferred daylight saving time when the sun would actually rise at 5:45 a.m. (again the sky was light from 4:45-ish) and would not actually set until a little after 10 pm. So, if we went to a fixed time all year, I would rather it be set so we have an hour more evening time than an extra hour early morning time.

DST served it's purpose when we were primarily a farming nation............but those days are gone for the most part.
I'm all for removing it and having one time frame year-round. I'd prefer DST, as I hate the whole getting dark thing at 4:30-5:00pm. But, I'll be okay with whichever they decide to use.

Me too, please, one or the other.
