Doomsday Clock reaches 2 minutes to midnight - closest point to nuclear annihilation since Cold War

"In 2017, the Bulletin moved the clock from 3 minutes to midnight to 2 and half minutes amid comments from Trump on North Korea and fears of a renewed nuclear arms race with Russia. It was the first time the clock had been moved in over two years.

Trump was faulted this year as well for the clock moving forward, with the organization blaming the president’s statements and social media posts for fueling tensions with North Korea and other nuclear powers. The president has drawn heavy criticism for his war of words with North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un, especially after his tweet earlier this month where he boasted that he has a bigger and more powerful "nuclear button" than the leader in Pyongyang.

“In the past year, U.S. allies have needed reassurance about American intentions more than ever,” said Sharon Squassoni, a professor at George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs.

“Instead, they have been forced to negotiate a thicket of conflicting policy statements from a U.S. administration weakened in its cadre of foreign policy professionals, suffering from turnover in senior leadership, led by an undisciplined and disruptive president, and unable to develop, coordinate, and clearly communicate a coherent nuclear policy” she added."

I find it rather ironic that in the clocks entire history it has never moved two consecutive years in a row, I think we can contribute the movement to the liberal meltdown of the Trump presidency.
