Trolling Trump again: Popular cartoon series, South Park, readies provocative teaser trailer targeting ICE
In the latest instalment of the iconic animated series, South Park, the first episode of Season 27, titled "Sermon on the 'Mount," premiered on July 23, 2025. The episode, which streams tomorrow on Paramount+, has caused a stir by heavily targeting Donald Trump, parodying his second presidency, legal troubles including the Epstein files, and the administration's Christianity focus.
The episode, which drew a record audience of 5.9 million viewers, representing South Park's biggest premiere share since 1999, has sparked significant controversy and widespread attention, becoming a record high in ratings on Paramount+. This unprecedented political attention includes a response associated with the White House or President's office, marking an unusual direct political reply to South Park's satire.
The teaser for the episode features Donald Trump seated next to Satan at a formal dinner, with Trump fondling Satan's thigh. Rumours suggest the episode will parody United States Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, often referred to as "ICE Barbie." In a surprising turn of events, the Department of Homeland Security responded to the teaser by posting a still from it and urging people to apply to work for the agency. South Park responded with a witty comeback, saying, "Wait, so we ARE relevant?"
The episode also features Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in the fictional Colorado town. Co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have made it clear that they won't be pulling any punches with their new season, as evidenced by the first episode. Satan confronts Trump over the Epstein list in the episode, and the new South Park Season 27 episode airs on Comedy Central on Wednesday, August 6.
In response to the episode, the White House issued a strongly worded statement criticizing the "hypocrisy of the Left." The new episode titled "Got a Nut" is already earning over 1 million views on YouTube, with the teaser featuring Mr. Mackey dressed as an ICE officer and a character resembling Kristi Noem.
Spokesperson Taylor Rogers stated that the Left has no authentic or original content, but it seems that South Park continues to push boundaries and keep audiences engaged with its biting satire. For those interested in detailed content from the episode or the nature of the White House's response, official episode releases or direct statements from government sources would provide more specifics.
