The White House responds to episodes of Trump-Satan in South Park
The White House calls South Park the “fourth rate” after the episode showed Trump in bed with Satan.
“South Park” doesn’t end with President Donald Trump.
The Comedy Central Show has dropped a trailer for the upcoming episode. This suggests that the series will continue to laugh at Trump after making waves to chase him in the Season 27 premiere.
The 20-second trailer includes a shot of Trump taking part in dinner, where he sits at the table with Satan. Hearing the speaker talks about celebrating Trump’s courage, the president rubs Satan’s feet under the table, and Satan tells him to stop.
It is unclear whether this scene will air on August 6th in the next episode, or whether it was created just for the trailer. “South Park” is famous for not finishing until the episode airs. Last week’s Comic-Con panel, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone admitted that they created the scene just for use in the season 27 trailer.
But the trailer means that at least his relationship with Trump and Satan will be a continuing storyline throughout the season, rather than a one-off plot.
In the Season 27 premiere, airing on July 23, “South Park” skewered Trump and literally showed him going to bed with Satan. He was animated using actual photos of the president placed in an animation body, which is roughly the same parody as the 1999 film portrayed Saddam Hussein.

The White House fought back on the episode, with spokesman Taylor Rodgers saying in a statement to USA Today that “South Park” has not been associated with more than 20 years and is stuck on a thread with uninspired ideas in desperate attempts for attention.
One of the main plot lines for the season premiere, entitled “The Sermon of Mount” was Trump suing the town of South Park. By the end of the episode, the town agrees to do pro-Trump messaging as part of the settlement. The show then cut into a fake public service announcement that showed live-action portrayal of Trump undressing him and roaming the desert.
The video was featured in an on-screen graphics with the words “Pro-Trump PSA 01 of 50,” suggesting that it could come more in future episodes.
Last week, in an appearance on the San Diego Comics Scam, Parker and Stone apologised for their sarcasm about the episode. “We’re so sorry,” Parker said jokingly.
During the Comic-Con panel on July 24th, Parker and Stone admitted that they still don’t know what will happen in the upcoming “South Park” episode, given how quickly the episodes are coming together. “I don’t know what the episode will be next week,” Parker said. “It’s very stressful.”
