'South Park' dresses down Trump in shocking PSA



The popular animated show “South Park” came gunning for President Donald Trump
in the premiere of its 27th season on Wednesday night.

The episode depicted Trump in bed with Satan and tackled the president’s ties
to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “It’s weird that whenever it comes
up, you just tell everyone to relax,” Satan tells Trump at one point in the
episode.

Along with the episode, the creators launched a website called “He Trumped
Us,” styled to resemble the “He Gets Us” ads, which promote Christianity and
regularly air during sporting events. However, the “South Park” guys’ site
strikes a far, far different note.

It features a scathing PSA attacking both Trump and the show’s own corporate
backer, Paramount. The two-minute video begins with the animated characters
agreeing to settle a lawsuit with Trump, a jab at the recent embarrassing deal
CBS—which Paramount owns—made with Trump. The rest of the video is a satirical,
computer-manipulated takedown of Trump that you’ll have to see to believe.

The video, it must be said, is not safe for work.

This bold bit of satire comes on the heels of Trump critic Stephen Colbert’s
popular late-night show on CBS being abruptly canceled, with its final episodes
airing next May. And the PSA’s use of “synthetic media,” as the video’s YouTube
page describes it, is particularly fitting because of Trump’s penchant for
reposting inflammatory, AI-generated material.
