The iconic creators of South Park have ignited a fiery feud with the Trump administration after their latest season premiere delivered a scathing satirical take on the 47th U.S. President's controversial behaviors and policies.
Social media exploded with clips from the South Park Season 27 premiere "Sermon on the 'Mount," as fans marveled at creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's bold political commentary. Known for their no-holds-barred approach, the duo's Trump parody struck particularly hard this season.

The episode opens with South Park residents questioning a president whose only apparent solutions involve lawsuits and arrests. What follows is one of the show's most brutally accurate presidential caricatures yet, complete with Trump's signature pout and a physical appearance directly inspired by his infamous 2023 mugshot.
The satirical portrayal doesn't hold back - from mocking Trump's controversial tariffs and foreign policy decisions to an extended gag about the former president stripping naked in bed with Satan. These scenes intentionally echo Parker and Stone's earlier depiction of Saddam Hussein in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
The White House fired back through spokesperson Taylor Rogers: "The Left hypocritically criticizes South Park until the show targets their enemies. This irrelevant program hasn't been funny since the early 2000s, yet now they celebrate it as high art."
The episode's most viral moment comes during a bizarre "pro-Trump PSA" ending with a deepfake Trump wandering the desert nude while a narrator jokes about "his teeny tiny penis but big love for America."
So can we talk about how Cartman saying "I love you man" to Butters during the end credits was actually Trey saying that to Matt in case it's all over for South Parkpic.twitter.com/oiK2i08EVt

In a meta-commentary on the show's future, Cartman and Butters share a surprisingly sincere moment that many fans interpreted as Parker and Stone acknowledging potential career repercussions. This follows Paramount's recent $16 million settlement with Trump over a CBS News controversy - a situation the episode directly references through its Jesus character.
The season premiere arrives just days after Parker and Stone secured a massive $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount+, despite previous tensions over production delays. The creators' willingness to poke this particular bear suggests they're prepared for whatever backlash may come from their most politically-charged season yet.
