Donald Trump took to social media platform Truth Social to voice strong frustration over the Senate's failure to approve the Sunshine Protection Act and the I Don’t Want to Change My Clocks Anymore Act. Pointing out that the sun set at 5:06 PM and total darkness fell by 5:31 PM, the post criticized how early it gets dark outside compared to just a few days prior when the weather was bright and sunny at the exact same hour.
