South Park Targets VP JD Vance, Trump, ICE in Record-Viewed Episode

The satirical show South Park has launched a fierce critique of the Trump administration in its 27th season, targeting President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. The second episode, "Got a Nut," portrays Vance as a subservient, baby-faced assistant to Trump, featuring crude humor including scenes of Vance offering to apply baby oil to Satan's backside in Trump's presence. The show also mocks Noem’s admission of putting down her own dog and exaggerates her appearance with melting and sliding Botox effects. Despite sharp criticism from the White House and the Trump administration, South Park's episodes have garnered record-breaking viewership. The program’s creators continue to use exaggerated and provocative portrayals to critique conservative figures, including a parody of Turning Points USA founder Charlie Kirk. The Department of Homeland Security even acknowledged the show’s spotlight on ICE recruitment efforts, underscoring the cultural impact of South Park’s satirical commentary.
