'South Park' Takes on Trump in Season 27 Premiere as Creators Ink $1.5 Billion Deal [View all]

Source: Hollywood Reporter

South Park returned to television on Wednesday after a nearly two-and-a-half-year hiatus, kicking its 27th season off with a hilarious and, as expected, controversial premiere, where the show took on President Donald Trump, showing a depiction of him in bed with series regular, Satan.

Government censorship, the death of wokeness, ChatGPT, and religion in the nation’s public schools were the main topics of the season premiere. After Cartman learns of the cancellation of the radio show where “liberals bitch and whine about stuff,” an assembly is called by series favorite PC Principal, who introduces a guest at an assembly: Jesus Christ. Before the first act break, the town’s parents are rioting and a cut-out of President Trump turns up, as the plot shifts to the White House and a president at odds with Canada and lying naked in bed with Satan, with his small penis on full display.

Trump is back in bed with Satan in the following scene, where the devil confronts the president about rumors that his name appears on the notorious “Epstein list.”

“It’s weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax,” Satan says, adding that Trump reminds me a lot of someone else he dates, an allusion to his beau in the 1999 movie South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, in which Satan is romantically involved with Saddam Hussein.
