美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周六向阿肯色州参议员汤姆·科顿施压，要求其支持一项将夏令时永久化的法案，并敦促美国人拨打看似是参议院情报委员会主席科顿的个人手机号码。
《阳光保护法案》已于7月在众议院以308票对117票获得通过。特朗普当时称该法案的通过是“美国的好消息！”
该法案在参议院仍面临阻碍，部分共和党议员强烈反对。包括白宫在内的支持者认为，这一调整将在美国人活动最频繁的时段提供更多日照时间。
批评者则表示，永久夏令时会导致冬季早晨天色更暗，潜在风险更高，届时孩子们等校车、父母开车上班时都将身处黑暗之中。
特朗普多年来在这一问题上的立场多次转变。他既呼吁过取消夏令时，也支持过将其永久化。
夏令时是指美国大部分地区在春季至秋季期间将时钟调快一小时的时段。并非所有州都实行夏令时——根据该法案，如果各州议会在法案生效前采取行动，各州可以选择不参与这一调整。
“不知为何汤姆正在阻挠这项法案，而在参议院，阻挠法案通过易如反掌，只需要一个人就行！”特朗普在社交媒体上写道，同时指出法案通过将让职业高尔夫球手有更多时间在球场上击球。“所以，所有阿肯色州的民众——这是一个我深爱的州，我在那里赢了三次，上次以34个百分点的优势胜出——告诉汤姆，把法案通过！这会让所有人都感激不尽，”特朗普说道。
特朗普附带了一个带有阿肯色州区号的电话号码。这并非总统首次披露参议员的个人信息。
2016年共和党总统候选人提名竞选期间，已故的南卡罗来纳州参议员林赛·格雷厄姆曾称特朗普“不适合担任公职”，此前特朗普诋毁了亚利桑那州参议员约翰·麦凯恩的军旅生涯。随后特朗普公布了格雷厄姆的个人手机号码。这引发了一段病毒式传播的视频，视频中这位参议员戏剧性地砸毁了多部翻盖手机。格雷厄姆后来成为了特朗普的亲密盟友。
作为共和党领导层成员的科顿，周六下午在自己的社交媒体帖子中重申了反对永久夏令时的立场，不过反对该法案的共和党议员并非只有他一人。
“没人喜欢调时钟，我也一样，但国会此前曾多次通过永久夏令时法案，而每次都在美国人经历了冬季极晚的日出后废除了该法案，”科顿写道。“阿肯色州民众不希望他们的孩子在漆黑一片中上学，而我永远会把阿肯色州的利益放在首位。”
特朗普回应道：“如果汤姆·科顿真的把阿肯色州的利益放在首位，他就应该给他们多争取一小时日照时间，更重要的是，民众不必每年两次在自家、农场、工作场所以及其他各处到处折腾着调时钟，还经常会忘调。”
自1942年夏令时首次作为战时措施被采用以来，国会议员们长期以来一直在关注夏令时的潜在利弊。参议院四年前曾通过一项将夏令时永久化的法案，但该法案在众议院搁置。
Trump urges calls to cellphone of Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton in battle over permanent daylight saving time bill

President Donald Trump on Saturday pressured Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas to support a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, urging Americans to call what appeared to be the personal cellphone number of Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House in July in a 308 to 117 vote. Mr. Trump called the passage of the bill “Great News for America!” at the time.
The bill still faces roadblocks in the Senate, where some Republicans are strongly opposed. Proponents, including the White House, argue that the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active.
Detractors said permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker and potentially more hazardous winter mornings when children will be waiting for school buses and parents will be driving to work in darkness.
The president has changed his position on the issue throughout the years. Mr. Trump has called both for daylight saving time to be eliminated and for it to be made permanent.
Daylight saving time is the period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. Not all states observe it — and under the bill, states can opt out of the change if their respective legislatures act to do so before the bill’s enactment.
“For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it’s very easy to do, it only takes one!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media, noting that passing the bill would give professional golfers more time on the greens. “So, everyone in Arkansas, a State I love, and won 3 times, the last by by 34 points, tell Tom to, GET IT DONE! It will be appreciated by all,” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump included a phone number with an Arkansas area code. This is not the first time the president has released personal information about a senator.
While competing for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina described Mr. Trump as “unfit for office” after Mr. Trump denigrated the military service of Sen. John McCain of Arizona. Mr. Trump then released Graham’s personal cellphone number. That prompted a viral video in which the senator dramatically destroyed a series of flip phones. Graham later became a close ally of Mr. Trump.
Cotton, a member of Republican leadership, reiterated his opposition to permanent daylight saving time in a social media post of his own Saturday afternoon, though he is not the only Republican who opposes it.
“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 wrote. “Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first.”
Mr. Trump responded: ” If Tom Cotton were putting Arkansas first, he would give them an extra hour of daylight and, more importantly, they wouldn’t have to run all over their houses, farms, work places, and everywhere else, twice a year, having to change their Clocks, and often forgetting to do so.”
Members of Congress have long been interested in the potential benefits and costs of daylight saving time since it was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. The Senate passed a bill four years ago to make daylight saving time permanent, but it stalled in the House.
