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

President Donald Trump appeared to share the personal cell phone number of Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on Truth Social amid his push to pass a bill which would end daylight savings time. Trump called out Cotton, who he describes as "a friend," for stopping the "Sunshine Protection Act" from going to a vote last October. "For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it’s very easy to do, it only takes one!" Trump posted on Truth Social. "So, everyone in Arkansas, a State I love, and won 3 times, the last by 34 points, tell Tom to, GET IT DONE!"

Trump doubled down on his pressure campaign Saturday while speaking with reporters at the White House, arguing that Americans are fed up with changing their clocks twice a year. "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."

At the end of his post, Trump prompted Arkansas voters to call Cotton's number, which he included. 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.

Trump has been a leading advocate of ending the twice-yearly clock change, arguing that it would help "decrease Robbery and Murder Rates, Reduce Car Accidents (especially those involving Pedestrians!), Lower Risk for Cardiac Issues, Stroke, and Seasonal Depression." 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. >>
