‘South Park’s Trump-bashing Season 27 premiere has the White House fuming

South Park goes right for President Donald Trump’s jugular in the first episode of Season 27.

The episode sees Trump in bed with Satan, a callback to 1999’s South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, which featured Satan in a relationship with Saddam Hussein.

“You remind me more and more of this other guy I used to date,” Satan tells Trump. “Like, a lot. Like, you guys are exactly alike.”

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone don’t stop there, though. They also show Trump as having a micropenis and mention rumors of him being on the “Epstein list.”

The Season 27 premiere also skewers Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump over a lawsuit in which Trump alleged that a 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris contained “deceitful” editing. (CBS News itself called the suit “completely without merit.“) In the episode, the town of South Park protests against Trump. In retaliation, Trump sues the town, forcing them to pay Trump a considerable sum and produce a number of pro-Trump PSAs as part of a settlement.

The PSA shown at the end of the episode is extra-NSFW, showing an AI deepfake of Trump taking off his clothes in the desert. Once he’s fully naked, his penis pops up and states, “I’m Donald J. Trump, and I endorse this message.”

The PSA’s voiceover declares: “His penis is teeny tiny, but his love for us is large.”

Trump’s White House is decidedly unhappy about the episode. According to Rolling Stone, a Trump adviser who has long been a fan of the series found it “disappointing.”

In a statement sent to Variety, Rolling Stone, and The Hollywood Reporter among other outlets, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said: “The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offense’ (sic) content, but suddenly they are praising the show. Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows.”

Hours before South Park Season 27 premiered, Paramount reached a five-year deal with Parker and Stone for 50 new episodes on Comedy Central and a streaming partnership with Paramount+. The deal is valued at $1.5 billion.

South Park‘s takedown of Trump and specifically the Paramount settlement comes a little over a week after Stephen Colbert ripped into that same settlement on The Late Show. He called it a “big, fat bribe” meant to encourage the approval of a merger between Skydance Media and Paramount, which owns CBS. Days later, The Late Show was cancelled, although CBS claimed it was “purely a financial decision.”

However, South Park thinks otherwise. Towards the end of the episode, Jesus Christ himself encourages South Park’s citizens to settle with Trump, asking them, “Do you really want to end up like Colbert?”
