President Donald Trump has expressed intentions to eliminate Daylight Saving Time (DST), describing the biannual clock changes as “inconvenient” and “very costly to our Nation.”
He has acknowledged the mixed public opinion and complexity surrounding the issue, leading to a more neutral stance recently.
In March 2022, the Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act, aiming to make DST permanent. However, the House did not act on the bill, leaving the status quo unchanged.
As of March 2025, discussions continue, with public figures like Elon Musk also advocating for changes to the current time system.
