Trump drops Republican Senator's phone number in social post over fury on stalled bill

Trump called out Cotton, who he describes as "a friend," for stopping the "Sunshine Protection Act" from going to a vote last October.

"We want to get away from this ridiculous way and custom of, every twice a year, turning your clocks back, turning your clocks forward, being late for dinner, being late for very important meetings," Trump said. "It's ridiculous."

Trump said Americans want more daylight in the evening and argued the twice-yearly time change is costly and disruptive.

"People want to have light in the evening," Trump said. "But really, what they want more than that, more than that by a lot, they don't want to have to go around changing clocks."

The Truth Social post from Trump comes as the Senate is out of session until Nov. 3 and unable to vote on the bill until after the midterm elections. The House passed its version of the bill in July by 308-117, garnering bipartisan support. The House bill was referred to a Senate committee, but it hasn't been touched.

But the bill's failure to pass despite bipartisan support marks another setback for Trump, who has made the SAVE America Act a priority but has been unable to get it signed into law.

After Trump called out Cotton for rejecting a bipartisan unanimous consent made by Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I. and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., to move the Senate bill last Fall, the Arkansas senator doubled down on his support for daylight savings time.

"No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter," Cotton psoted on X. "Arkansans don't want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I'll always put Arkansas first."
