Popular comedy show puts Trump in its sights yet again

  • South Park will continue to satirize the Trump administration, with an upcoming episode featuring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) descending on the fictional town and a scene depicting Trump with Satan.
  • The previous episode of the long-running animated series launched a scathing critique of Trump, referencing the 'Epstein list', his lawsuits, and the prospect of government censorship.
  • Co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have confirmed they will not hold back on their satirical content, despite the show's move from HBO Max to Paramount+ as part of a $1.5 billion streaming deal.
  • The show depicted Trump suing the town of South Park for 5 billion, eventually settling for 3.5 billion in exchange for 'pro-Trump messaging' in public service announcements.
  • The White House responded to the initial episode with a strongly worded statement criticizing the 'hypocrisy of the Left', despite the episode drawing a record audience.
