The long-running animated series South Park aired its season premiere earlier this week, featuring a storyline that satirized President Donald Trump in response to a fictional legal dispute involving the show’s version of 60 Minutes and its editing of a Kamala Harris interview.
The episode follows Trump’s real-life $16 million legal settlement with 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount — a lawsuit related to the handling of the Harris interview. The show’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, appeared to use the episode to comment on the case and Trump’s public persona.
Satirical Depiction Includes Vulgar Imagery
In the episode, Trump is portrayed as suing the town of South Park and demanding they air a public service announcement in his favor. The episode includes several exaggerated and vulgar scenes, including depictions of Trump in bed with a cartoon version of Satan, and references to his physical appearance.
A fictional public service announcement in the episode features an AI-generated version of Trump, who is shown wandering in the desert and undressing, with a narrator saying:
“Trump. His p*nis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large.”
The portrayal has drawn criticism from some Trump allies for its graphic content.
White House Responds to Episode
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers issued a response, stating:
“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offensive’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show.”
“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years… President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history,” Rogers added.
President Trump Reacts
When asked about the episode during a stop in Scotland, President Trump said:
“I’ve never watched South Park. I don’t know anything about it.”

Trump’s remarks came after his legal win over Paramount, which included a settlement that reportedly avoided trial and involved no admission of wrongdoing by the media company.
Paramount’s $1.5 Billion Deal with South Park Creators
Parker and Stone recently signed a five-year, $1.5 billion deal with Paramount, the parent company of South Park, to produce new content — including 10 episodes per year.
It’s unclear whether the Trump-themed episode was part of that agreement or developed independently by the show’s creators.
