The White Home has responded to South Park’s brutal portrayal of Donald Trump — by which the president is depicted with a micropenis, cuddling in mattress with Devil — throughout Wednesday night time’s Season 27 premiere, calling the long-running comedy collection now not “related” and accusing it of “hanging on by a thread with uninspired concepts in a determined try for consideration.”

This present hasn’t been related for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired concepts in a determined try for consideration. President Trump has delivered on extra guarantees in simply six months than every other president in our nation’s historical past — and no fourth-rate present can derail President Trump’s sizzling streak.”
As talked about, Wednesday night time’s Season 27 premiere of South Park was a no-holds-barred takedown of Trump, his relentless weaponization of lawsuits to silence dissent, the correct wing’s fixation on combatting cancel tradition and political correctness, and the willingness of firms — together with Comedy Central’s father or mother firm Paramount — to cave underneath political strain. Including insult to harm, a number of scenes depicted Trump with a micro penis, cuddling in mattress with Devil.
