White House slams South Park episode targeting Trump and Paramount

South Park kicks off Season 27 by roasting Donald Trump, dragging Jesus into a $1.5 billion streaming deal, and mocking the Paramount-Skydance merger. The White House? Already furious.

South Park has had its fair share of edgy moments, taking on Kanye West, Tom Cruise, the Prophet Muhammad, and Chinese censorship, to name but a few.

And now Donald Trump has fallen to the sword, as the season 27 premiere satirizes him suing the town of South Park over opposition to Christianity in schools.

The White House has struck back, criticizing the South Park season 27 premiere as “fourth-rate” and irrelevant.

The episode and its targets

The fictional episode mocks Donald Trump for suing the fictional town over resistance to a Christianity-in-schools policy.

Jesus Christ appears, claiming a deal with Paramount “forced” him to visit South Park, which is likely referencing Trump’s real $16M lawsuit settlement with Paramount.

Trump sued Paramount earlier this year, claiming that it edited an old interview with Kamala Harris in a misleading way. The case was settled in early July.

There are also multiple Jeffrey Epstein references – Satan says someone commented Trump is “on the Epstein list” in the episode, and Trump brushes it off.

The clincher comes when Trump is shown nude, with exaggeratedly small genitals, in a faux public service announcement satirizing his claimed media settlement.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who LOVES the way the South Park guys absolutely cooked trump in their test season premiere, he is going to HATE the accurate size depiction of his tiny member.

White House and public reaction

Due to the high-octane intensity of South Park and its cult following – the White House felt the itch to summon a response.

Spokesperson Taylor Rogers called the episode “fourth-rate,” “uninspired,” and “desperate.”

Rogers also accused liberals of hypocrisy for now praising a show they used to call offensive.

There has been no direct comment yet from Trump, but the administration appears rattled by the Epstein satire.

The business behind the satire

Paramount inked a blockbuster agreement with Trey Parker and Matt Stone for 50 new episodes over five years, signed just days before the explosive season premiere.

After South Park left HBO Max in June 2025, Paramount swooped in, securing exclusive streaming rights as part of the new deal

Parker and Stone say production chaos stems from the messy Paramount-Skydance merger, which they’ve bluntly called a “sh—tshow.”

The creators pointed the finger at soon-to-be Paramount president Jeff Shell for delaying talks with Netflix and Warner.

The merger still needs Federal Communications Commission approval, which could be swayed by Trump-aligned officials.

Trump’s $16M Paramount settlement adds a political twist to the deal.
