Washington DC - President Donald Trump has shared the personal contact information of a Republican Senator who voted against a bill to get rid of daylight saving time.
In a Truth Social post Saturday, Trump said that while he considers Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton "a friend," he lambasted the politician for opposing the Sunshine Protection Act, or, as the president described it, the "We Don't Want to Change Our Clocks Twice a Year Act."
Trump, who is an avid golfer, then went on a lengthy aside in which he said the PGA golf tour "needs more Daylight in the afternoon in order to finish their Tournaments."
Towards the end of his post, Trump took his attack on Cotton to a dangerous level by sharing the Senator's personal phone number and urging his MAGA fans to call him about his vote.
"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," Trump wrote.
"Call Tom on his cellphone at [#] 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!" he added.
Cotton, an outspoken MAGA loyalist, has not commented on the president's remarks.
The move comes as elected officials have been facing higher incidents of threats, harassment, and violence, with doxxing – the illegal act of publicly sharing one's personal information online – also being used to track and follow them.
Trump himself has faced multiple attempts on his life in the past few years, and he has repeatedly blamed the left for supposedly inciting political violence.
The Senate is currently on recess and will not get back to legislative business until its scheduled return following the November midterm elections.
