About PolicyClown
What is PolicyClown?
PolicyClown is a satirical website that generates absurd political predictions by combining real news headlines with fictitious policy forecasts tied to actual politicians' documented stances. Our goal is to provide entertainment and comedic relief through the lens of current events and political discourse.
All predictions are generated using artificial intelligence and are purely fictional. While we base our satirical predictions on real political positions, the forecasted policies are intentionally exaggerated for comedic effect.
