Trump renews push for permanent daylight saving time, urging Senate action

President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "Too bad the Senate has not yet approved the Sunshine Protection Act or, the I Don't Want to Change My Clocks Anymore Act. It's so dark outside, so early (Sunset was 5:06 P.

Just a few days ago it was so nice and sunny at this same time. In addition, everyone's been running around changing their clocks all over the place.

I didn't want to make a big deal out of this prior to the Election because I didn't want to have certain Senators lose their Race, in a landslide, but it is too bad they can't get it done. The House sent it over to the Senate with great bipartisan support, numerous times (308-117), but the Senate didn't take it up.

We have far bigger priorities, but I will keep fighting for this!" - "Stock Market just hit another Record High, 91 Days in just a short period of time, Less than two years. Record Setting All!" - "Watching the Pre-Election Results on FoxNews, but I can't stand Jessica Tarlov's voice, DUMB AS A ROCK, but it's the voice that gets me.

Have to go somewhere else until that LOSER is off the air, I'll be back later!" - "Lightweight Congressman Ted Lieu, one of the least respected in Washington, D. C., made a knowingly malicious, false, and defamatory statement that I wanted to change the name of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to the Trump Reflecting Pool.

He posted on X, " What are Trump and his Republican enablers focused on? Changing the name of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to the Trump Reflecting Pool.

Vote." Ted Lieu knows that I said it in a jocular manner, and added, immediately after, " Don't worry, I'm only joking." All of the gathered Reporters laughed. But "Lightweight" Lieu, his new moniker, didn't add the line that I'm only joking because he is a FRAUD.

This was done at a News Conference, and even the Media was aghast that Lieu would have lied like that. He's a Third Rate Congressman, and always will be!

Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Explanation:

President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "Too bad the Senate has not yet approved the Sunshine Protection Act or, the I Don't Want to Change My Clocks Anymore Act... I will keep fighting for this!" - "Stock Market just hit another Record High, 91 Days in just a short period of time, Less than two years.

Record Setting All!" - "Watching the Pre-Election Results on FoxNews, but I can't stand Jessica Tarlov's voice, DUMB AS A ROCK..." - "Lightweight Congressman Ted Lieu... made a knowingly malicious, false, and defamatory statement..." The geopolitically most relevant signal in this batch is not a foreign-policy shift, but a public presidential push to revive the Sunshine Protection Act, which would end the biannual clock change and make daylight saving time permanent. That is a domestic legislative issue, yet a presidential endorsement can still affect Senate priorities and the timing of floor action.

The House has passed similar measures before with bipartisan support, but the Senate has repeatedly failed to advance them, so this post signals renewed White House attention rather than an immediate policy change. Market and security impact is limited, but the broader context is that Trump is using social media to pressure Congress on a long-running issue that has drawn sporadic bipartisan interest for years.

His aside about holding back before the election underscores his view that the issue could be politically sensitive for senators. Unlike his posts on the stock market or personal attacks, this one has modest legislative significance, with low direct geopolitical risk.
