Former US President Donald Trump publicly shared what is believed to be the personal phone number of Republican Senator Tom Cotton after Cotton voiced opposition to permanently adopting daylight saving time. Trump has long advocated for eliminating the switch between daylight saving time and standard time, pushing for year-round daylight saving through the “Sunshine Protection Act.” While the House of Representatives approved the act in July, it faces resistance in the Senate, including from Senator Cotton of Arkansas. Cotton and other opponents argue that permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker winter mornings, potentially endangering children. Trump reacted to Cotton’s public criticism by posting the senator’s alleged phone number on his platform, Truth Social, urging residents of Arkansas to contact him regarding the bill. Multiple journalists verified the number's connection to Cotton, though none were able to reach him directly.
