South Park slams Trump, yes, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are back with a new episode that takes aim at the American president with absolutely zero remorse.
It was recently announced that Paramount is cancelling the iconic talk show The Late Show (formerly hosted by David Letterman and currently by Stephen Colbert) — a decision many believe carries political undertones, as the show has long been a target of harsh criticism from President Donald Trump. Paramount has also reportedly reached a separate legal settlement with Trump, adding to the speculation.
Not long before this cancellation, Paramount also renewed its deal with Trey Parker and Matt Stone for more South Park episodes. Whether or not politics played a role in the cancellation of The Late Show remains unclear — but one thing is certain: the creators of South Park couldn’t care less.
Rather than portraying Trump in the South Park style, the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone used photos of the president’s face on an animated body.
Season 27 premiered yesterday with the first episode titled Sermon on the ’Mount, and it’s no exaggeration to say it’s one of the show’s most controversial episodes yet. The fact that South Park, after 27 seasons, still makes international headlines — managing to provoke and entertain — is nothing short of remarkable.
We have yet to hear what Donald Trump himself thinks of the episode, or whether he plans to go after South Park in response.
UPDATE 25. JULY 2025 with statement from The White House:
“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt to get attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in the statement.
Many found this to be a strange statement, considering South Park has remained highly relevant over the past 20 years. In fact, South Park has been one of the most culturally sharp shows on television — consistently taking aim at both the right and the left, tackling current issues, and refusing to back down from anyone.
