Trump's Case for Permanent Daylight Saving, Aimed at Tom Cotton
On social media, Trump argued that if Tom Cotton were putting Arkansas first, he would give the state an extra hour of daylight and spare residents from running all over their houses, farms, workplaces and everywhere else twice a year to change clocks they often forget to change. The argument amounts to staying on daylight time year-round, and it is framed as a test of whether Cotton puts Arkansas first rather than as a scheduling question. The twice-yearly reset, in that telling, is the grievance; the extra evening daylight is the reward.

The concrete grievance in the pitch is the clock change — running all over houses, farms and workplaces twice a year, and often forgetting — while the extra hour of daylight is the promise attached to it.
Or read it the other way around: the extra hour is the headline offer, and the twice-yearly hassle is what makes the whole thing sound like common sense rather than a policy argument.
