South Park Returns with Satirical Take on Trump

In the first episode of the 27th season of "South Park", an animated version of Trump gets into bed with the devil. The animation style - where they have cut out and manipulated Trump's real face - is a reference to how "South Park" in its earlier seasons and in the film "Bigger, longer and uncut" made a parody of Saddam Hussein. In the episode, the American president is also compared to a "dictator from the Middle East".

Angry about penis

A clip that is going viral on X shows Trump's displeasure with the portraits of himself in the White House:

"Why is my dick so small?", says the upset presidential caricature. "That was the size we had in the photo", replies the artist who is then dismissed and threatened with lawsuits.

The episode is also about a USA where "woke" (roughly exaggerated political correctness) has died. The hateful character Eric Cartman loses the will to live because everyone suddenly behaves like him. Cartman is particularly upset that the American public service channel NPR will be shut down after Trump's cuts in public media funding.

"Who does this president think he is? He can't just shut down a program. What program will they shut down next?", he says.

Wrote billion contract

The episode premiered a few days after "South Park" made a deal about a five-year contract with the media company Paramount, which is said to be worth around 14 billion kronor.

Paramount recently decided to shut down "Late show" with Stephen Colbert, which is shown on the company's channel CBS - to Trump's delight. This comes in the wake of the TV channel CBS agreeing to a settlement of around 170 million kronor after Donald Trump threatened to sue the channel for a segment with Kamala Harris in "60 minutes".

Corrected: Incorrect public service channel was stated.
