‘South Park’ takes aim at Trump’s DC crime takeover with tanks and marching troops in latest episode
Donald Trump’s America mocked again in latest South Park episode
- South Park has satirised the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, DC, depicting a significant military presence in its latest episode.
- The show’s talking towel character, Towelie, visits Trump to ask Trump to legalise marijuana all around the US to boost his marijuana and weed company, Techridy, fuelled by ChatGPT and ketamine.
- The cartoon's current season has achieved record viewership by mocking Trump and his close allies, including Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
- The episode comes after the president announced placing DC police under direct federal control and deploying approximately 800 National Guard troops to address crime, despite recent declines in violent crime.
- The Trump administration has dismissed South Park as irrelevant, though Vance responded light-heartedly to his depiction, while Kristi Noem criticised the show for mocking women's appearances.
