Trump responds to South Park episode that mocks his presidency
President Donald Trump said Friday he “knows nothing about” the new South Park episode that poked fun at his administration and portrayed Trump sharing a bed with the devil.
“I don’t know anything about South Park,” Trump told the Washington Examiner. “I’ve never watched South Park.”
In South Park’s season premiere, the townspeople were upset about having Jesus in schools, which prompted the president to threaten them with a $5 billion lawsuit. Jesus then tried to convince the townspeople to settle with the president, saying he had to return to the schools due to “the agreement with Paramount.”
The episode, which aired on Paramount+, follows the $8 billion merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media over diversity, equity, and inclusion assurances. The Federal Communications Commission recently approved the merger.
It also follows Trump’s recent feud with 60 Minutes, which settled earlier this month, and CBS News’s cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“You guys saw what happened to CBS? Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount. You really want to end up like Colbert? You guys got to stop being stupid,” Jesus told the townspeople in the episode.
At the end of the episode, the townspeople settled with the president for $3.5 billion, under the condition that they would start advertising “pro-Trump messaging.” The episode ended with a “pro-Trump PSA,” which showed a realistic video of Trump wandering naked in the desert, ending with the phrase, “He Trumped Us.”
The episode also put Trump’s face on a naked animated body, including in bed with Satan, and showed Trump threatening to sue anyone who didn’t agree with him.
Taylor Rogers, a White House spokeswoman, blasted the show’s depiction of Trump and said it’s a reflection of why the Left is unpopular.
“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,” Rogers said in a statement. “President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
SOUTH PARK MOCKS PARAMOUNT DEAL AND ‘PRO-TRUMP MESSAGING’ IN SEASON PREMIERE
Trump was asked if he had any reaction to being in bed with the devil in the episode, and he responded by repeating, “I’ve never watched South Park.”
Trump is now heading to Scotland, where he will meet United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer and play golf for the weekend.
