The audio, which has been widely shared, suggests that Trump is speaking out against the practice, saying, “It’s gotta go.” The alleged quote continues with Trump adding, “Imagine you’re dying, you’re on your deathbed, and you have a little while to live, and they turn the clocks forward… you die faster. Sorry kids, Granny’s dead, she lost an hour. It’s a disgrace, we’re gonna stop it.”

Many social media users have taken to the comments and flagged the audio as allegedly fake news, speculating that the clip is either edited or entirely fabricated. Trump has seemingly not publicly made such statements, and the audio does not allegedly appear in any official recordings or speeches.

In reality, Trump has seemingly spoken about daylight saving time before but has kept his position relatively neutral. He has referred to the issue as a “50/50” matter, acknowledging that there are strong arguments on both sides but ultimately leaving the question of whether to abolish it undecided.

The controversy over the audio highlights the speed at which misinformation can spread, especially in today’s social media age, where soundbites can easily be manipulated or misrepresented. For now, it remains unclear whether the viral audio was intentionally created as satire or misinformation, but it has definitely sparked conversation on the topic of daylight saving time and its potential future.
