Donald Trump’s White House is melting down over Wednesday night’s South Park premiere, which just so happened to attack the president’s “teeny tiny” manhood and depict him as literally in bed with the Devil, effectively taking over the role held on the show for years by the late genocidal dictator Saddam Hussein.
“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,” Trump White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers tells Rolling Stone in a statement Thursday morning. “Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. 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.”
The episode came just hours after it was reported that Paramount had agreed to buy the global streaming rights for South Park in a five-year deal worth $1.5 billion.
The twice-impeached, repeatedly indicted president has for decades harbored intense, mean-spirited pop-culture fixations, and that personality trait has not changed six months into his second administration. It would be easier to shrug off his celebrity obsessions as mere cattiness, if waging war on late-night television and its corporate owners weren’t an actual facet of his administration’s sprawling project of authoritarianism and fear.
Prior to the White House’s statement, Rolling Stone had asked several Trump advisers if clips of the latest South Park episode had been circulating among Trump’s staff. One senior administration official replied, “Of course,” noting how much their phone had lit up about it. A Trump adviser also said they’d seen it, and that as a longtime fan of the series, they found it “disappointing.”
Trump recently secured a hefty payout from Paramount to settle his meritless lawsuit against CBS News’ 60 Minutes, based on his claims that the show selectively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, his 2024 opponent, to “make her look better.” The agreement is part of a broader pattern of major corporations settling Trump’s baseless lawsuits, agreeing to shovel millions of dollars into his presidential library fund to accommodate the president.
The Paramount settlement comes as the firm seeks regulatory approval for its merger with Skydance — and appears to contain more than just a payout to Trump’s library fund. According to Trump, the deal includes a $16 million settlement as well as $20 million “from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming.”
South Park specifically skewered the reported PSA arrangement on Wednesday. The episode concluded with an AI-generated PSA showing a fully nude Trump wandering the desert with a “teeny tiny” penis.
Paramount has faced mounting criticism over its efforts to cozy up to Trump. The executive producer of 60 Minutes quit in April, and said he was no longer allowed “to make independent decisions” running the show. The company’s decision to part ways with host Stephen Colbert and end his late night show has created an uproar, too.
Okay, I’ll give Parker and Stone credit for getting so under their skin that they released a statement about it.
It seems very fucking easy to get under his skin currently, he’s very sensitive about something. If we had a solid voice somewhere he’d have a full on break down
Seriously, you just need a big enough platform for him to see it and give a shit.
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.
Not wrong though
It’s been almost comic how pro-South Park this one episode has made Libs. They’re all cumming their fucking pants over it, despite us all collectively agreeing the show was cringe circa like, what, 5 years ago?
The libs are saying slurs again so they’re ready to get back into south park. They started with the r ableism word and if you give it a few years they’re gonna be fine with the transphobia it regularly does.
I remember cringing about it 15 years ago.

I called it quits at Golga.
I watched the episode out of curiosity. The highlight is actually the plot about Cartman’s reaction to the death of woke, which was actually funny and inspired at times. The angle they took with Trump was, for reasons of Matt and Trey having a limited imagination, that he’s an exact reprise of how they depicted Saddam Hussein in the movie, right down to repeat gags, half-head drawing style typically reserved for Canadians, and a relationship with Satan. Because he is a dictator, you see.
Whenever some liberal entertainer does some flaccid bullshit that nevertheless manages to get under trump’s skin, it kicks off a kind of quantum spiral where I hate both parties more the more I think about it.
Does South Park still have an absurdly fast turnaround time for producing a cartoon?
If this is what it takes them to be relevant again then I expect them to be on it like flies on shit.
They do, I remember a doc about them ages ago that had them going from a script first draft to a completed episode in like a week.
So many shows take this piss out of Trump, why does he suddenly care now?
CHUD assumed South Park is on their side.
And it still is the grand scheme of things, but they think Trump is a weird loser, which is what he really cares about.
South Park has been my CHUD bro’s favorite show and it was all he could talk about during covid. So this is immensely funny to me.
Another Epstein distraction? Idk
He’s just that vain
This ain’t even the first time they made fun of him, in 2016 they even had 2 Trump analogs
SA spoiler
One analogue raped the other to death
Yea but chuds are so dumb they only care when they use trump instead of someone that looks like him
Have you seen the clip? This one is… uh… do you know what kabanos is?
No I haven’t watched south park in like a decade
Kaban- oh… eww
His admin was screwing with the Paramount / Skydance merger. Paramount owns Comedy Central and CBS, which just canceled Colbert as part of some multi million dollar settlement with Trump’s ego. Might have something to do with it.
manbearpig, welcome to the resistance
I watched it and it had its good moments.
but that ending was a god damn riot. the whole living room fell out of their damn seats.
‘he gets us’ had me rollin’
Such thin, delicious skin.
Why has Trump suddenly become so Rizz-less? First he gets all defensive about Epstein and now he shits his pants over a cartoon that all his followers probably grew up on.
in not mad. you’re mad. you’re so fucking stupid. lol. 😂 embarrassing. im actually laughing rn and so is my gf
If south park was good they would do a scientology style episode depicting everything we know about his connection to the epstein case
I am 100% right as always
