美國總統川普（Donald Trump）想把日光節約時間定為全年實施，阿肯色州（Arkansas）共和黨聯邦參議員柯頓（Tom Cotton）則公開反對。
當地時間上周六（3日），這項分歧促使川普在個人社群公布柯頓的手機號碼，呼籲該州居民親自致電向柯頓反映。

綜合美國《有線電視新聞網》（CNN）與《紐約時報》（The New York Times）報導，川普力推的《陽光保護法》（Sunshine Protection Act）自7月起就已卡在參議院。他在個人社群發表的長文中指責柯頓阻擋法案，接著公布柯頓的手機號碼：「致偉大的阿肯色州人民，請讓你們的參議員知道，這會是美國參議院一場了不起的兩黨勝利」，「撥打湯姆的手機」。2位官員證實，川普公布的號碼確實屬於柯頓；柯頓辦公室未回應置評請求。這2位官員則因未獲授權公開談論此事而要求匿名。現在撥打該號碼會接到自動語音，說一名未具名的受話者「暫時無法接聽」。
Everybody in Arkansas, Tom Cotton, a friend of mine, is holding up a very important Bill. It’s called, “The Sunshine Protection Act” or, “We Don’t Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act.” For some reason, Tom is stopping the Bill and, in the Senate, it’s very easy to do, it only takes one! It should pass overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion. 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. Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! The PGA TOUR, as an example, needs more Daylight in the afternoon in order to finish their Tournaments. Likewise, regular Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. See letter from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA TOUR below. 65% PLUS want more sun in the afternoon, Daylight Saving Time (The way it is now!), but 100% don’t want to change their Clocks twice a year. They want to, as they say, “LOCK THE CLOCK!” Who doesn’t? It’s very expensive for our Nation where you have high and dangerous steeples to reach, like on churches and municipal buildings. Almost everybody wants “The Sunshine Protection Act” to pass, except for Tom Cotton. To the Great People of Arkansas, please let your Senator know it would be a GREAT Bipartisan WIN for the United States Senate, and for America, itself. Call Tom on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know. “The Sunshine Protection Act” was passed in the House by a Vote of 308 to 117. HAVE THE SENATE VOTE, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP ( TS: Oct 3 2026, 10:32 AM ET )

這項法案將固定日光節約時間，讓美國人不必一年調整2次時鐘。它7月在眾議院以308票對117票過關後，便卡在參議院。美國上次試行全年日光節約時間是在1974年，但民眾很快不滿，尤其是家長抱怨冬天早晨送孩子上學時天色仍暗，不到一年就廢止。川普卻把春天撥快一小時、秋天撥回一小時稱作「荒謬」。他上周六告訴媒體，這種做法「把所有人搞得一團亂」。
川普近年多次主張取消一年兩次調時，並把《陽光保護法》當成優先推動的法案。類似立法已在國會來回多年：支持者希望傍晚多一小時日光，帶動消費、戶外活動與部分產業；反對者則擔心冬天日出過晚，影響上學與通勤。這次版本在眾議院過關後，成敗關鍵轉到參議院，柯頓被川普指為主要障礙。
川普針對柯頓的貼文，附上美國職業高爾夫巡迴賽（PGA Tour）執行長羅拉普（Brian Rolapp）支持法案的信。該法案會讓傍晚多一小時日光。羅拉普聲稱，這能讓高爾夫球手每年多打2300萬回合。許多睡眠科學家則認為現行做法較好，因為早晨日照較多，較符合人體生理時鐘。
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. Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch…

柯頓上周六稍晚堅持立場，但未提及川普的貼文。兩人通常是共和黨盟友。柯頓在個人社群發文說：「沒有人喜歡調時鐘，包括我在內，但國會過去多次立法實施永久日光節約時間，每次都在美國人經歷冬天荒謬地晚的日出後廢止」，「阿肯色州人不想讓孩子在一片漆黑中去上學。」川普在一小時內回應。他談這項法案時說：「它被湯姆·柯頓在參議院擋了數月，那是個事情進去就會死的地方」，「而且除了『自我』之外，還為了什麼？」
這已不是川普第一次公布電話號碼向參議員施壓。2016年共和黨總統初選期間，川普在台上展示一張手寫已故南卡羅來納州聯邦參議員葛蘭姆（Lindsey Graham）號碼的卡片；葛蘭姆當時是提名對手。川普當眾唸出數字，鼓勵美國人打電話給這名參議員。他7月在葛蘭姆葬禮上說，公布號碼是他「不該做的事」，「而且我還記得那個號碼」。川普在葬禮上再次唸出數字，並補了一句：「如果有人想試一試。」
