South Park took another shot at Donald Trump during Wednesday’s episode, joking that the president had become too much of a “helpless loser” to mock. The Comedy Central series used the midterm elections as the setup, with Mr. Garrison announcing a temporary break from jokes about Trump after what he described as a severe political defeat.
South Park mocked Donald Trump during Wednesday episode
The episode opened with Mr. Garrison discussing the midterm elections with his students. When one student asked, “What are midterms?”, Garrison responded by explaining why the show would supposedly stop targeting the president. (via The Mirror)
He said, “Now I know you’ve all heard about the midterms and the severe beating our president took.” He then added, “And of course we could just go on and on and make a bunch of jokes about them, but it’s no fun punching down on a helpless loser, so we’re just gonna sort of not do that this week, OK?”
However, the show quickly shifted its attention to the school’s upcoming liberal changes. Garrison introduced PC Principal, who returned with an aggressive, profanity-filled speech about making the school more inclusive. “I don’t know about you, but I’ve been pretty messed up the last couple of years,” PC Principal said. After twice telling the students, “F— you,” he declared, “We are gonna get s— back on track.”
He also promised that the school would become more tolerant and respectful of all races, support Palestine, and stop overlooking minority and gay students.
Meanwhile, the episode, titled We Be Clubbin’, followed Tweek and Craig as their relationship encountered difficulties after an anniversary was forgotten.
Following the episode, viewers shared mixed reactions on X. While one fan thanked the show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, for their work, another expressed frustration with the political focus. One viewer wrote, “Thank you, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. I am eternally grateful for everything you have done.” Another commented, “Sad. I want it to be about the kids not politics EVERY EPISODE.”
