‘South Park' Escalates Feud With Trump Administration With 5 Brutally Blunt Words
Since it was on X, they did it with a hashtag: '#eatabagofdicks.'
South Park mocked President Donald Trump in its season premiere last month ― first with a cartoon Trump in bed with Satan, then later with a very realistic Trump tearing off his clothing in the desert to reveal a 'teeny tiny' talking penis.
The Trump White House threw a fit over the episode, with a spokesperson complaining that the show 'hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas.'
But with Homeland Security now using 'South Park' to promote itself, the team behind the show fired back on X:
This week's episode, airing on Wednesday, will focus on Mr. Mackey trying to join ICE after losing his job. A video trailer released last week features the image taken and used by ICE, likely without permission.
'We want to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment,' a spokesperson for the agency told Newsweek.
The trailer also shows Trump, once again with Satan ― this time at a dinner, but trying to feel him up under the table.
'Stop!' Satan says, and pushes the animated Trump's hand away.
'South Park' also released some new screenshots of the episode:

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to visit White House on Monday after Trump called for his ouster: report
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is set to visit the White House on Monday after President Trump called for his removal last week, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. Intel and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Tan is expected to have a extensive conversation with Trump while looking to explain his personal and professional background, the report said, adding that he could propose ways Intel and the US government could work together. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is reportedly expected to have a extensive conversation with President Trump on Monday. REUTERS Tan hopes to win Trump's approval by showing his commitment to the US and guaranteeing the importance of keeping Intel's manufacturing capabilities as a national security issue, the report added. Last week, Trump demanded the immediate resignation of Tan, calling him 'highly conflicted' due to his ties to Chinese firms and raising doubts about plans to turn around the struggling American chip icon. Tan said he shared the president's commitment to advancing US national and economic security. Trump's intervention marked a rare instance of a US president publicly calling for a CEO's ouster and sparked debate among investors. Reuters reported exclusively in April that Tan invested at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms, some of which were linked to the Chinese military. President Trump has demanded Tan resign as Intel CEO, calling him 'highly conflicted' due to his ties to companies in China. AP Tan, a Malaysian-born Chinese American business executive, was also the CEO of Cadence Design from 2008 through December 2021, during which the chip design software maker sold products to a Chinese military university believed to be involved in simulating nuclear explosions. Last month, Cadence agreed to plead guilty and pay more than $140 million to resolve the US charges over the sales, which Reuters first reported.
