The White House has publicly criticized South Park for its recent season premiere, which featured President Trump in bed with Satan and mocking his alleged Epstein cover-up. The episode also included a crude depiction of Trump’s genitalia and a parody of his recent settlement with Paramount. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers defended Trump, arguing that the show is irrelevant and that the president has delivered more promises in six months than any other president.
South Park’s 27th season premiere on Wednesday depicted the president in bed with Satan while talking about his alleged Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, and took shots at his recent settlement with Paramount. Both scenes included crude depictions of his genitalia. Rogers criticized the show as having ‘no relevance’ and praised Trump’s achievements, claiming the president has delivered more promises in six months than any other president. The episode also featured Trump suing the town of South Park and eventually reaching a settlement with the fictional Colorado town for $3.5 million and a commitment to produce pro-Trump public service ads (PSA).
The mock PSA appeared to be a parody of Trump’s recent settlement with CBS and parent company Paramount Global. The episode included a scene where Trump was shown stripping off his clothes and collapsing onto the sand naked, with his penis rising and stating, ‘Iām Donald J. Trump and I endorse this message.’ The White House also criticized liberals who are now praising South Park after previously calling it offensive, claiming their hypocrisy and lack of original content are responsible for their declining popularity. Paramount, which recently signed a $1.5 billion streaming deal with South Park, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
