South Park creators troll Trump after Emmys win
"South Park" celebrated its Emmy win with a public dig at Donald Trump.
After winning an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program, South Park took aim at former President Donald Trump. The show's official X account posted a celebratory message to creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone along with an image featuring an emaciated Trump with his pants down and holding an Emmy. He was flanked by South Park characters like Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, Mr. Garrison, PC Principal, Jesus Christ, and Satan.
The tweet is no longer available, possibly due to removal or loading issues. This is a pointed jab at Trump, who has been nominated for two Emmys but has never won. South Park has won six Emmys with 21 nominations, and Parker and Stone were inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame earlier this year. The real kicker might be that South Park won this year's Emmy after airing a particularly anti-Trump Season 27 premiere, "Sermon on the Mount."
This episode was heavily criticized by the White House for featuring Trump in a compromising position with Satan and a deepfake PSA. The show's creators apologized for the episode during the San Diego Comic-Con International, expressing regret. Season 28 of South Park continues to skewer Trump, with multiple episodes dedicated to mocking the former president.
As for South Park's future, Season 29 is scheduled to premiere on September 16 on Comedy Central and Paramount+.
