South Park’s Satan is in another abusive relationship, this time with President Donald Trump. Even those who voted for Trump are happy to see the animated comedy getting back to its roots—depicting reviled world leaders in the worst, most offensive light possible.

Donald Trump stars on South Park
South Park premiered its 27th season on Wednesday with “Sermon on the ‘Mount.” In addition to other drama, the episode featured Trump in the same style as Saddam Hussein was depicted in the film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

The reluctant ruler of Hell also remarks on the size of Trump’s genitals, earning him a slap and another lawsuit threat.
This unflattering depiction comes less than a week after CBS, which shares a parent company with Comedy Central, cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. That, of course, happened days after Colbert criticized the network for settling with Trump for $16 million.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are also having issues with Paramount. After it delayed the premiere of season 27 by two weeks, the pair released a statement on X blaming the merger with Skydance.

Paramount may end up regretting canceling Colbert to give all that money to Comedy Central.

South Park fans and Trump critics alike adored the new episode after it finally aired, with many praising Parker and Stone for returning to what they used to do best—and to hell with the consequences.
“I got to come clean,” said X user @SoftPlatypus23. “I voted for Trump and I’m still glad I did, but this may have been the best episode of South Park I have ever seen.

“I give it 15 more minutes before Trump is demanding the cancellation of South Park lmfao,” wrote @HEYitsMK.
Viewers flooded the social media platform with reactions on Wednesday night and the following day. (If you haven’t already noticed, you might be seeing a lot of little members on your feed for a minute.)
