The creators of South Park are now in a public dispute with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. This follows a recent, extended segment on the long-running Comedy Central series that satirized the President's conduct, policies, and more.

Clips from last night's Season 27 premiere, "Sermon on the 'Mount," quickly spread across social media today. Fans flocked to see how Trey Parker and Matt Stone would critique the 47th President. Although the show is famous for its sharp satire of celebrities and politicians alike, its take on Trump feels particularly biting.

The 22-minute episode starts calmly, with the people of South Park looking for answers from a president they see as only capable of "arresting and suing people" while making their lives more difficult. Once the town unites, the show's portrayal of Trump emerges as a strikingly accurate depiction of the current U.S. leader.

Familiar images of Trump, including a modified version of his well-known 2023 mugshot, are used to represent the character. This version has a comical yet recognizable voice, with a mouth that detaches his chin from the top of his head. The character then faces criticism for imposing tariffs on Canada, bombing Iran, and other actions, directly referencing real-world events from 2025.

Parker and Stone intensify their critique as the episode progresses. The show's Trump is seen laughing while threatening to sue White House artists for their particular portrayal of him.

"Why is my dick so small?" the South Park version of Trump asks the artists at one point in the premiere.

A similar gag is repeated throughout the episode, showing Trump undressing and getting into bed with Satan. On multiple occasions, his behavior, voice, actions, and dialogue even hint that this character is a new iteration of Saddam Hussein from the South Park movie, sharing many of the same traits.

Trump White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers issued a statement addressing the show's depiction of the President.

"The hypocrisy of the Left knows no bounds. For years, they attacked South Park for what they called 'offensive' content, but now they are celebrating the show," Rogers told Rolling Stone.

"Like the creators of South Park, the Left lacks authentic or original ideas, which is why their popularity keeps plummeting. This show hasn't been relevant for over two decades and is clinging to uninspired concepts in a desperate bid for attention. President Trump has fulfilled more promises in six months than any other president in U.S. history—no second-rate program can stop his momentum."

It's unknown if future episodes will continue to criticize Trump, but Parker and Stone include one final jab near the end of the premiere. Just before closing, one of 50 alleged "South Park Pro-Trump" PSAs is shown. The clip features what looks like a live-action deepfake of Trump wandering in the desert before stripping off all his clothes.

"His penis is tiny, but his love for us is immense," a voiceover states in the PSA.

So can we talk about how Cartman saying "I love you man" to Butters during the end credits was actually Trey saying that to Matt in case it's all over for South Parkpic.twitter.com/oiK2i08EVt

As the episode concludes, Eric Cartman (Parker) and Butters (Stone) share a line that seems to mock fears of the show being canceled over its Trump critique. This is one of several moments in the premiere that reference the controversy surrounding its parent company, Paramount, and a recent $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump.

The case involved the President suing Paramount over claims that CBS News deceptively edited an interview with 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris. The settlement had previously been criticized by Stephen Colbert of The Late Show, which CBS announced was ending after 33 years just last week. Colbert had labeled the deal "a big fat bribe" days earlier.

"I didn't want to come back to the school, but I had to because of the lawsuit and the agreement with Paramount," South Park's Jesus Christ says through gritted teeth in the premiere. "Now he can do whatever he wants since someone backed down, okay?"

The character continues, "You saw what happened to CBS, right? Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount! Do you really want to end up like Colbert?"

Parker and Stone signed a five-year, $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount+ earlier this week. This came after Paramount attempted to delay the show, drawing criticism from the creators. Stone celebrated the announcement on social media yesterday.
