“I’m not sure if you’re trying to convince yourself or anyone else that this is really about extending daylight savings time to the entire year, when it is not the case.”
Like I said, I don’t care all that much what Trump’s position is. It could be that you’re right, but you have to realize that you aren’t just arguing against one random guy on the CR. You’re arguing against several major news outlets as well insinuating that Trump is casually making a full 180 on what the Republican party’s stance has been in recent years.
I see you’ve made up your mind as to why I’m wrong about this (scared of facts, trying to convince myself, etc.), but why are all the other sources wrong as well? Same reason?
I fully agree with Ubi about Trump’s tweets. Not only does Trump commonly make mistakes in tweets, but as I pointed out, this is a common mistake to conflate DST with the act of changing clocks. Case and point, none of the articles I found (including the ones that were saying exactly like you) used Trump’s tweet as a “proof.” His tweets are not considered a reliable source even within the pro-Trump media.
In any case, why does any of this matter? Despite the title, this thread was really about how permanent DST would affect the frum community. None of the points that were made were predicated on how Trump holds in the matter.
