South Park ups the ante in new episode with shocking Trump twist

Ever since the start of this year’s new South Park season, the show’s creators have not pulled any punches, going full blast on Donald Trump, as well as his administration and allies. 

Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s brand of crude humour has clearly resonated, with weekly clips of the show’s 27th season going viral and the Trump-lambasting season hitting record ratings. 

For instance, the second episode of Season 27 averaged 6.2 million global multiplatform viewers in its first three days of release and also saw the highest live ratings on Comedy Central since 2018.

The numbers don’t lie and have proven White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers wrong when she dismissed the show by saying South Park “continues to hit record lows” and “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years.” 

So far, the cartoon assault has given Trump a micro-penis, showed JD Vance as the president’s minion, given audiences a deeply unflattering version of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, satirized ICE and Trump’s federal takeover of Washington D.C.’s police.  

Now, the latest episode (this season’s fourth) features a surprising storyline involving Trump and recurring character Satan. The two were previously seen in a toxic relationship, but the episode “Wok Is Dead” has taken things up a notch…  

Trump is seen dodging questions from reporters, who ask him why First Lady Melania Trump had been hiding in New York City.  

This later culminates in Satan not only confirming their relationship, but also dropping this bombshell: “I want to leave him, but I can’t. Because I’m pregnant.” 

The latest episode also touched on tariffs and the Labubu craze sweeping the world right now

To add insult to injury, a recently unearthed post on X from Donald Trump Jr has been making the rounds online.  

In the resurfaced post, Trump’s son praised South Park just two years ago, declaring that the show “doesn’t miss.” 

In a viral post with currently more than 131, 000 likes, one social media user wrote: “haha, so true man! did you see the new one yet?” 

South Park Season 27 is currently on Comedy Central / Paramount+.
