Trump insists on daylight saving time. The measure to abolish the time change was already voted on in July by the House of Representatives, but in the Senate the road promises to be uphill and the head of the White House tries to stir things up with a post on Truth: “The Senate must vote on the ‘no more changing the clocks act’ as soon as possible”, he writes. “Having more sunlight at the end of the day is an advantage (also for the fight against crime!), but, even more importantly, enough with the ridiculous changing of the clocks twice a year, with all the inconvenience and chaos that follows. Finally, approve it!”.
In the United States, the time change occurs on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November. According to the tycoon, summer time saves energy by moving the hands forward by one hour in spring. The rationale is that having an extra hour of light in the evening delays the moment in which it is necessary to turn on the lights at home, in shops and on the streets.
