South Park makes brutal Donald Trump joke as show returns after Charlie Kirk episode pulled
The latest episode of South Park has once again hit out at Donald Trump with brutal jokes about the President.
The newest instalment of arguably South Park’s most political and controversial season yet comes just a week after an earlier episode of the show was pulled following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Comedy Central removed the first episode of the season from their schedule when it was set to re-air the night of Kirk’s death, likely due to a plot in the episode in which Eric Cartman parodied Kirk by copying his hair, persona, and debating.
With the newest episode delayed by a week, many felt it may be due to creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone looking to tone down the content of the episode.

This was clearly not the case, however, as the episode is sure to be highly controversial.
The most shocking element of the new episode is the continuation of a storyline in which President Trump is found to have impregnated Satan with a ‘butt baby’.
Trump spends the entire episode attempting to use traps to kill his Satanic ‘butt baby’, with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr instead falling into his way.
Carr made headlines recently after condemning comments made by Jimmy Kimmel following the death of Kirk, and reportedly pressuring Disney into suspending the comedian's show.
Though this was initially successful, the backlash led to Kimmel’s show being reinstated.
In the new South Park episode, the Home Alone-style attempts to forcibly abort his baby with Satan sees Trump set up a rope and grease, with Carr instead falling into the trap and tumbling down the stairs.
In addition to this, traps intended for Satan see Carr chow down on stew laced with Plan B and later infected with toxoplasmosis after having kitty litter dropped on him.
It is arguable, however, that this bizarre storyline, which culminates with Carr in hospital and JD Vance celebrating at the idea of a potential rival to be next in line for the Presidency, is not the most controversial from this week’s episode.
The main storyline of the episode revolves around prediction market apps, leading Cartman to tell Kyle all the big bets at school.
Kyle, who is Jewish, is shocked at an antisemitic bet asking the question: “Will Kyle’s mom strike Gaza and destroy a Palestinian hospital?”
Kyle’s search to find who made the bet takes him and his mum all the way to Israel in which she confronts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
His mum yells at him, saying: “There you are, Mr. Netanyahu. Just who do you think you are, killing thousands and flattening neighbourhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield from criticism?”
The Israeli Prime Minister currently has an active warrant out for his arrest from the International Criminal Court following an investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Amnesty International and a United Nations Special Committee have both claimed that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, with the Israeli foreign ministry denying the UN's report, calling it 'distorted and false'.
Amid their latest ground offensive on the Palestinian city, over 65,000 Palestinians have been killed.
