Hey everyone! It’s March 9, 2025, and Daylight Saving Time (DST) kicks off tonight in the U.S. At 2 AM, clocks will jump forward an hour, meaning one less hour of sleep but later sunsets until November 2. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump just dropped a fresh take on this time shift that’s got people talking. Here at FlashNews360.com, we’ve got the full scoop—let’s dive in!
Trump’s Latest Stance and DST (Daylight Saving Time) Buzz
Back in December 2024, Trump vowed to scrap DST, calling it “inconvenient” and “costly.” But on March 6 in the Oval Office, he softened his tone, labeling it a “50-50 issue.” He figures some folks love extra evening light, while others want brighter mornings—like parents avoiding dark school runs. “When it’s this split, why rush to change it?” he said. So, for now, clocks keep ticking as usual. Elon Musk polled X users—58% want permanent DST (later time), 41% prefer standard time (earlier). The debate’s heating up!
DST’s (Daylight Saving Time) Roots and the Debate
DST (Daylight Saving Time) started in 1918 as a wartime energy saver, was ditched, then locked in nationwide by 1966’s Uniform Time Act. Fans say it brings more evening sun and boosts life quality. Critics, like the American Medical Association, warn of health risks—heart issues, crashes, and mood dips. In 2022, the Sunshine Protection Act to make DST permanent passed the Senate but stalled in the House. Hawaii and Arizona opt out entirely. Congress holds the key to any big shift.
