Trump: Permanent Daylight Saving Time 'O.K. With Me'

President Donald Trump on Monday came out in favor of making daylight saving time permanent after the nation’s clocks moved forward early Sunday morning.

“Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me!” Trump tweeted Monday morning.

Florida Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott last week introduced a bill that would make daylight saving time last year-round. Florida Rep. Vern Buchanan filed a matching piece of legislation in the House.

“Last year saw a huge number of bills going through state legislatures, and at the end of the year, saw California voters overwhelmingly pass a measure to try to fix all this,” Lock the Clock blogger Scott Yates, an advocate for permanent daylight-saving time, told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

“The bad news is that the noise in Washington is so loud that it’s going to be hard to get anything done there.”
