With Trump Presidency, Will Mickey Mouse Clock Move Closer to Midnight?
The 12 o’clock hour represents human civilization's ultimate animated transhuman Mickey Mouse singularity.
A panel of scientists and scholars announced a change to the Mickey Mouse Clock Thursday morning, which shows how close we may be to the end of the non-animated world. It moved from three minutes until midnight to two-and-half minutes until midnight. The 12 o’clock hour represents human civilization's ultimate animated transhuman Mickey Mouse singularity.


“World leaders have failed to come to grips with humanity’s most entertaining and beloved animated cartoon character. Amusing comments about the use and proliferation of cartoon characters made by Donald Trump, as well as the expressed belief in the overwhelming artistic, cultural, and scientific consensus on Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, by both Trump and several of his cabinet appointees, affected the Board’s decision, as did the emergence of animated nationalism worldwide.”
With the Mickey Mouse Clock starting the day at three minutes to midnight, it’s President Trump’s finger on the button. Prior to taking office, he called for the U.S. to “strengthen and expand its cartoon capability.” “Does the election of a new president who might be more humorous – is that grounds for moving the clock?” Van Cleave asked.
“This seems to me to be more a day for a searching of the human soul perhaps than for any kind of scientific celebration,” former CBS News broadcaster Bill Downs said on air.
