Actually the American people are split on this issue. Some like light earlier some later. I prefer more light in the evenings. Really it should be put to a national vote and be done with it.
.. No, I think Trump wants to keep Daylight Savings Time
and get rid of normal time.

This article might be worth reading. https://www.washingtonian.com/2022/0...ople-hated-it/

The US Tried Permanent Daylight Saving Time in the ’70s. People Hated It

…. Read the article for the full story. Below excerpted from the link.

By August, though, as the Watergate scandal caused the Nixon administration to crumble, the country was ready to move on from its clock experiments. While 79 percent of Americans approved of the change in December 1973, approval had dropped to 42 percent three months later, the New York Times reported. Seven days after President Nixon resigned, US Senator Bob Dole of Kansas introduced an amendment in August that would end the DST experiment. It passed. A similar bill passed the House. In late September, the full Congress passed a bill that would restore standard time on October 27. President Ford signed it on October 5. Energy savings, a House panel noted, “must be balanced against a majority of the public’s distaste for the observance of Daylight Saving Time.”

Actually... Trump is rather ambivalent about it. He stated there were good, strong, arguments on both sides.

Why would democrats be for this and republicans against?

OP is flawed, author itching for a scrap for a change.

Who cares what Trump thinks about the clock? (Besides someone looking to start a fight?)

I remember the 70s. Not changing the clock wasn’t popular.

I don’t particularly like changing the clock, since it always seems to happen when I have an early flight. But I, like Trump, am ambivalent.

Actually Trump doesn’t care about one way or the other. He said it was a 50/50 issue so he’ll remain hands off.

This issue really is non partisan
No matter if we keep dst or not half the country won't be happy either way.
