People Are Blaming Trump For Daylight Saving Time

Springing forward is never easy, but some people seem to be a little more bitter about this weekend's time change than others. On Sunday, as Americans across the country awoke with one less hour of sleep than usual, funny (and brutally honest) daylight saving time tweets about President Trump began circulating online. The two trending topics may not seem to have much in common, but as with most headlines in the U.S. nowadays, all roads usually lead back to Trump.

If you want the president to abolish the dreaded clock movement, you're not alone. It seems Trump could win more than a few friends that way. If you haven't slept well since January's inauguration and one hour less of sleep on a weekend doesn't feel any different to you, then you're also not alone. Overall, people seem to have very mixed opinions about daylight saving time — almost as mixed as the country feels about the controversial commander in chief.

The controversy around daylight saving time is nothing new, and neither are the calls to end it. But with Trump in office and the recent behavior of his administration, there's certainly a whole new spin to put on the ever-painful time adjustment.

If only a cat picture could really do the trick. Trump may have nothing to do with daylight saving time, but Sunday's tweets show that plenty of people don't need a legitimate reason to be upset with him. The country is undeniably divided — and, for one reason or another, undeniably tired.
