President Donald Trump is floating the idea of eliminating daylight saving time altogether, reviving a debate that sparks national attention every spring and fall. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump called for Congress to end the twice-yearly clock changes and shift permanently to more daylight in the evenings.

“The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day,” Trump wrote. “Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!! DJT.”

The cost of clock-switching may not be trivial. A 2016 study estimated that daylight saving time costs the U.S. economy over $430 million annually due to decreased productivity and the logistical burden it places on industries like transportation, finance, and healthcare.

While many Americans are likely to welcome the idea—citing sleep disruption and inconvenience—some experts are pushing back hard, especially those in the medical and public safety fields. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has long advocated for permanent standard time, not permanent daylight time. According to Dr. Karin Johnson of AASM, darker mornings caused by daylight time can wreak havoc on sleep cycles and have long-term health implications.

“We know that darker mornings reduce alertness and increase risk for cardiovascular problems, metabolic issues, and mood disorders,” Johnson has argued. “People think they’re gaining sunlight, but they’re actually hurting their biological rhythms.”

The concerns go beyond sleep. Dr. David Harkey of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has warned that keeping morning commutes in the dark could lead to more traffic accidents. “We see data that shows accident rates spike during darker commutes, especially involving pedestrians,” Harkey said.

Still, there’s a growing sense of fatigue over the never-ending debate. BlazeTV’s Sara Gonzales tackled the issue on her show, with guest Eric July venting his frustration over the political indecision. “I mean, I don’t care one way or another if I’m being completely honest,” July said. “But it really pisses me off. Because every year this pops up, and I’m like, ‘We’re really going to do it or don’t.’”

Many conservatives have long favored scrapping the current system, arguing it’s outdated and needlessly disruptive. Trump’s public statement could apply pressure to both parties in Congress to finally take action after years of stalled legislation on the issue.

Though there’s no formal policy move from the White House yet, the political momentum could be building. In 2022, the Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent, but the bill died in the House. Now, with Trump reigniting the conversation, lawmakers may once again face pressure from constituents to stop the biannual time-change madness.

Whether America lands on standard or daylight time permanently remains to be seen. But for now, Trump has once again made it clear—he’s done changing the clocks, and he wants the government to be done with it too.
