I'm fine with that, but I think we should settle on Daylight Savings time. You know, when time is an hour ahead of what it is now.

Standard time is the WORST. My political party might be permanent Daylight Savings Time
If we had year-round DST, the sun wouldn't rise until after 8 AM in the winter.
And yet the happiest countries in the world spend most of the day in winter in darkness, some completely.
Though to be fair most of that has to do with how the governments tend to be more socialist.

I wake up at 6:45-7 most days and it's not like it's bright then either. I would MUCH prefer an hour more of daylight after I get off work
At least it wouldn't set before I leave work !

Trump says lots of things.
Who knows which he will actually try to do?
Or how many of those things he will actually succeed at?
Exactly "Trump vow" = "hot air"
I support standard time more, the 12 o clock at the center of the timezone should be noon, not having noon at 1PM, and day lengths are better on average without. DST makes it better, but only for sunset times, it makes the mornings drastically worse and I think employers and schools should just change their hours if they care so much about sunlight when they leave.

Fingers crossed that this gives us an extra hour of sunshine after work instead of before. It's so depressing to leave the office at 4pm and it's already dark out.

Instead of squawking over which to have, how about we all just uze Zulu time and eliminate the timezone confusion as well?
Then you will have different work hours everywhere. Chaos.
Or you would need to force a lot of people to work at strange hours.

this would be pretty good. i hope he's not full of shit on this one thing
Extra hour of sunlight for golf no doubt.
That would be permanent Daylight Savings, not eliminating it.
Though I'm not sure he or many others know the difference.
Half the people cheering the elimination of DST actually want permanent DST. Can't wait for this to go through, morons will get what they asked for instead of what they wanted. Theyre going to spend the extra hour of sun asleep in their beds.
I don't give a crap if the clocks stay forward or stay back, as long as they stay put.

As someone who mourns the 24hrs open world that covid killed, I don't care what the sky looks like, I'm just sick of my circadian rhythm being thrown off every few months because some fuck couldn't be bothered to use a lamp and decided it needed to be everyone else's problem.

I'm for permanent daylight. Not a morning person so i hate the sun coming up so early. The mornings should be dark and gloomy (because I have to go to work, work sucks) plus the added benefit of actually having some light when you get off work. The sun going down right when I'm finally off is kind of insulting and depressing.
Getting anyone to come to an agreement on this will be impossible since its based on preference.
That's why you base it on science and will you look at that, regular time is better, who would have thought?

I wonder how long until some special interest group like airlines come along and bribe him to change his mind, because it would be expensive for them to update their systems
As a programmer, software and operating system enthusiast that keeps up with time zone rule changes to keep legacy operating systems updated, I absolutely hate whenever they fuck with the time zone rules.
All the devices out there that are pre-programmed to change the daylight savings time automatically will need to be updated to continue working correctly, or some may have to be manually corrected twice a year.
If it counts for anything though, modern operating systems and devices would end up getting the appropriate updates from their relevant update servers, and phones will just get their time from the cell towers.
When you get down to it though, it doesn't make the days any longer or shorter, it's just the numbers we assign to the clock. The sun is still gonna rise and set just like it always has, longer days in the summer and shorter days in the winter.
