South Park Satirizes Trump, White House Responds

News summary

'South Park' premiered its 27th season with a pointed satire of President Donald Trump, depicting him in various controversial scenarios and lampooning both Paramount Global and ongoing political events, including the Paramount-Skydance merger. The episode referenced topics such as the Epstein list and the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late show, as well as a recent lawsuit settlement between Paramount and Trump. In response, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers criticized the political left for praising 'South Park' despite past objections, calling the show irrelevant and attention-seeking. Rogers also argued that no satire would affect what was described as President Trump’s successful record. The episode aired soon after the show's creators signed a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount, drawing attention as the merger awaits federal approval. Conservative media and Trump have not commented directly on the episode.
