‘South Park’ depicts a militarized D.C. as Satan seeks to escape Trump in new episode
"South Park" once again takes on the Trump administration in its latest episode.
The third episode of season 27 follows Randy Marsh, who teams up with Towelie and ChatGPT, to convince President Donald Trump to reclassify marijuana as legal at the federal level to save his cannabis farm, "Tegridy Farms."
During a tour of Washington, D.C., Towelie discovers that the city has been transformed, with National Guard troops now filling streets and famous statues adorned with sculpted heads of Trump.
The "stoner towel" also finds himself at a militarized Union Station, a detail that pokes fun at the real-life visit made by Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday .
When Towelie arrives at the White House, he joins a long line of visitors, all bearing gifts as expected for any presidential request. One guest is Apple CEO Tim Cook, who presents the president with a glass sculpture on a 24-karat gold base — an apparent jab at a similar gift Cook gave to the president in real life.
"Please make sure you have a reservation and that you have your gifts ready," a presidential aide says to those in line. "Please stay five feet away from the president at all times and avoid staring directly into his penis."
When it's Towelie's turn, he presents a hologram of Randy Marsh. With help from ChatGPT, Randy pleads with the president to help him rebrand his farm as a tech company called "Techridy."
"In order for our company to make $6 billion, we need you to reclassify marijuana on the national level," Marsh says to Trump. "With your wisdom, I'm sure we can work out an arrangement that will be mutually beneficial in return for your understanding."
As his gift to the president, Randy offers Towelie himself, who is then trapped at the White House with Satan.
Later in the episode, Trump is seen in bed asking Satan to have sex with him. The devil escapes to the bathroom, looks in the sink mirror, and asks, "What am I doing here?"
From a nearby rack, Towelie responds, "Please, I want to get out of here."
"So do I, but there is no escape from this place," Satan replies.
While Trump has yet to comment on this "South Park episode, the White House did respond to the first episode of the season, which debuted in July , featuring the president in bed with Satan.
"This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," a White House spokesperson said. "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak."
Despite the White House's criticism, "South Park" set its own ratings record earlier this month with an episode that mocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. It was the highest-rated episode since 2018 and garnered the biggest audience share in the series' history.
