Trump backs off push to end Daylight Saving Time
President Trump is softening his push to end Daylight Saving Time. Late last year, after winning the election, Donald Trump described daylight saving time as “inconvenient” and “very costly.” And he said Republicans would be working to eliminate the time shift. But last week, he backed off a bit and sounded less enthusiastic about making a change. He told reporters that daylight saving time is a ” 50-50 issue” and that “when something’s a 50-50 issue, it’s hard to get excited about it.” In the U-S today, every state except Hawaii and Arizona observes daylight saving time.
