Show begins 27th season covering Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount and cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, depicting Trump in bed with Satan

South Park has kicked off its 27th season with a blistering episode taking aim at Donald Trump and its newly minted parent company, Paramount, just one day after signing a $1.5bn deal with the network.

The premiere episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan and covers topics including Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount, the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wokeness, Trump’s attacks on Canada and more.

Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.

    With so much to make fun of him for, it kind of feels tacky to punch down on people that have to wear diapers to me, idk. I don’t think we should make fun of people for medical conditions, that’s a quick slide into making fun of people with disabilities etc.

    But on the other hand he’s obviously insecure about it and I’m on board with bullying trump about anything he’s insecure about, so I’m stuck in this ethical quandary here.

      There’s a dozen things that you shouldn’t reasonably make fun of. Balding, obesity, swollen ankles, micropenises, incontinence, dementia, and so on. But it’s Trump. If I could think up a slight about him breathing air, and it really pissed him off, I would totally share it.

      Sure but maybe the president of the United States shouldn’t be wearing diapers.

        Accessibility is important, this isn’t a good look for you, there are 1 million reasons why a person would have to wear one and only two of them is from Drug abuse and poor diet
