Good Trump.

Can someone explain to me what this means? I legitimately don’t get it.

It means that the current time would remain even in the winter.  Or in essence, we would be abolishing DST but also shifting everyone a time zone east to get more evening sunlight.

I will admit that part of my liking this has to do with being on the eastern edge of my timezone.  One of the only things I don't like about this area is the relatively early sunsets.  I have seen proposals to move Middle Tennessee to Eastern Time, but I don't fully want that either because I like being able to watch sports on a worknight and still get a good night's sleep.  That would be more difficult if we were ET.  But, moving to year-round CDT would at least be a nice compromise.

Even if this doesn't happen nationally, I think it would make a ton of sense for Tennessee as we are far enough South that the super late sunsets wouldn't happen and as we are on the eastern edge of the Central Time Zone.
