What did South Park say about Trump and the Epstein files? White House slams “fourth-rate show” featuring president in bed with Satan

South Park is back with its 27th season and a new controversy.

The satirical animated show parodied Trump over the Epstein files and other issues, sparking a stern response from the White House. The July 23 episode took multiple shots at the US President, including a depiction of him being in bed with Satan. The South Park Trump referenced the GOP leader and his recent comments about Jeffrey Epstein.

During the episode, POTUS is shown suing the town of South Park when its residents protest against him. After immediately threatening his supporters, the animated Trump heads to his bedroom, undresses, and joins Satan in bed. When the Devil asks the parody US President whether his name is on the Epstein List, the latter replies,

“The Epstein List? Are we still talking about that?”

The comment was a direct reference to the US President's response to a journalist asking him about the Epstein files earlier in July. Trump's response came after a joint press release from the DOJ and FBI stated there was no evidence of Epstein maintaining an "incriminating" client list.

NEW: South Park targets President Trump over the Epstein files in their new episode, puts him in bed with Satan.

The episode comes as South Park has just reportedly agreed to a 5 year, 50 episode, $1.5 billion deal with Paramount.

Satan confronts the South Park Trump,

“Well, are you on the list or not? It’s weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax.”

The president’s character responds,

“I’m not telling anyone to relax. Relax, guy.”

Satan then mentions “another guy” whom the South Park Trump used to date and claims they were quite alike. The show’s creators also released a PSA featuring a deep-fake of the US President walking around in the desert and stripping naked. The narrator says,

“When things heat up, who will deliver us from temptation? Donald J. Trump. No matter how hot it gets, he’s not afraid to fight for America. With conviction, discipline, and trust in God, he survived the desert.”

The narration concludes as the deep-faked Trump gets up,

“Trump. His p*nis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large.”

The advertisement also plays at the end of the first episode of Season 27.

The Trump White House slams South Park for parodying the President

The White House says #SouthPark is not 'relevant,' is 'hanging on by a thread,' and is a 'fourth-rate show'

Soon after the first episode of Comedy Central’s animated sitcom aired, the White House shared its criticism of the depiction of the US President. Taylor Rogers, a spokesperson for the Trump White House, said in a statement (via Rolling Stone),

“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.”

He claimed that the show’s creators and the Left no longer have "authentic or original content,” leading to their fall in popularity. Rogers called South Park a “fourth-rate show” as he added (via Rolling Stone),

“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for 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.”

In addition to parodying Trump, the episode satirized cancel culture and mentioned the recent cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night talk show. According to the Los Angeles Times, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount for 50 episodes over the next five years. After the new agreement was reported, the first episode of Season 27 aired on Comedy Central and Paramount+.

According to The Guardian, Trey Parker had a brief response to the Trump White House’s angry statement. During an appearance on a San Diego Comic-Con International panel on Thursday, July 24, Parker said, “We’re terribly sorry,” and later discussed the fake PSA depicting the US President.
