The once anti-woke animated series, South Park, has taken a sharp left turn, much to the delight of liberal audiences, with its latest season premiere.
The episode, which aired earlier this week, took aim at President Donald Trump in a manner that many have found distasteful.
According to Variety, the storyline revolves around the fictional town of South Park grappling with a lawsuit from President Trump. This legal battle follows his real-life victory against Paramount, CBS, and 60 Minutes, where he secured a $16 million settlement over their editing of Kamala Harris's interview. The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, appear to side with 60 Minutes, portraying Trump as overly sensitive and petulant throughout the episode.
The depiction of President Trump takes a controversial turn, as he is shown in bed with an animated Satan, pleading for intimacy, and is depicted with a diminutive anatomy. An animated Jesus Christ character implores the townspeople to settle with Trump, warning them of the consequences faced by Paramount and 60 Minutes.
Ultimately, a settlement is reached, which includes the airing of a public service announcement (PSA) that ostensibly praises Trump. The PSA features an AI-generated Trump wandering the desert, disrobing, and is narrated with lines such as, When things heat up, who will deliver us from temptation? Donald J. Trump, and, Trump. His p*nis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large.
In response to the episode, White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers expressed strong disapproval of the portrayal. The Lefts hypocrisy truly has no end for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as offense content, but suddenly they are praising the show, Rogers stated. He further criticized the shows relevance, saying, This show hasnt been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.
Rogers also highlighted President Trump's achievements, asserting that President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our countrys history and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trumps hot streak.
President Trump himself was questioned about the episode by the Washington Examiner. His response was dismissive: Ive never watched South Park, I dont know anything about it.
Parker and Stone have recently inked a lucrative five-year, $1.5 billion streaming agreement with Paramount, committing to produce 10 new episodes annually, totaling 50 episodes.
This raises questions about whether the Trump-focused episode was part of this new deal. The episode's content and the creators' stance have sparked debate, reflecting broader cultural and political divides.
