take in Shabbos ten minutes early this week for President Trump

According to Rav Yehuda Aryeh Dinner, a posek in Bnei Braq, has requested form the public that this week everyone should light the Shabbos candles and "bring in Shabbos" ten minutes earlier than usual. 

Personally we will be bringing in Shabbos a whole hour earlier than last week (even a little bit more), because we went back to winter time this week off DST. :-)

Rav Dinner actually pointed out that with the change form DST to winter time, Shabbos comes in very early and people should plan in advance to be ready, as they have gotten used to being ready in the summer for much later Shabbos, and even then people are not ready until the last minute.

Rav Dinner then went into explaining that we have to have gratitude to the President of the USA, Donald Trump, for all he has done for the Jewish nation, for yeshivas and kollels and schools and the Jewish communities, and with elections next week.

So, because we very much want him to continue as President, as that is what is good for the Jewish people and for Torah learning, so we should bring in Shabbos a little earlier, and the merit of Shabbos will stand for us.

Obviously, anyone who is able to go vote should go and vote for him, for Donald Trump. And in the merit of Shabbos we ask Hashem to have mercy and help us with this so Trump can continue in this position to help us support Torah and the yeshivas...

I do not recall such a campaign on a President's behalf in previous elections. We should also daven that if Joe Biden will win that he will help the Jewish people in his position as President. Rav Dinner and many in the Orthodox community might prefer a Trump victory, but Biden can win and we can still ask Hashem to help so that Biden will be good to the Jewish people.
