On This Day In 2020
This is the first time we've ever featured something he said which some people of all political stripes might think is not quite so crazy.
The U.S. made its annual “spring forward” from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time OTDI 2019. The next day, Trump expressed his feelings about the concept:
“Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me!” Trump tweeted.
Most people disagree, but at least there are sensible arguments to be made for his point of view this time.
The Senate passed a bill to make DST a year-round thing, but the House has not voted to do so. The Biden Administration has not taken a stance on the topic.
And yes, set your clocks ahead today. Much to the annoyance of Jonah Ryan in Veep.
