White House Responds as ‘South Park’ Mocks Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt: A MAGA Meltdown

In the premiere of “South Park” Season 27, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone sharply critiqued President Donald Trump, a hallmark of the show’s legacy of satirizing political figures across party lines. The episode, titled "Sermon on the ‘Mount,” offered memorable, provocative imagery, featuring a cartoon Trump alongside Satan and an AI-generated depiction of him in the desert presenting a faux public service announcement. Notably, Trump's Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was caricatured, appearing in scenes alongside the President. One striking moment depicted the Canadian Prime Minister questioning Trump’s dictatorial tendencies regarding tariffs. Other absurdities showcased Trump irritated by portraits of himself and hosting a bizarre White House party. The uproar surrounding the episode ignited responses from the White House, with Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers criticizing the left for hypocrisy while drawing attention to the creators’ upcoming $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. Despite claims of decline, critics noted the show’s enduring relevance in political satire, reflecting a complex relationship between media and power.
