One of the creators of South Park has issued a very blunt response after the White House slammed their decision to take the p**s out of Donald Trump.
After two years, the comedy animation series is back with a bang following the opening episode of the long-awaited season 27 premiere.
Titled 'Sermon on the 'Mount', the episode parodies the Trump administration, where Trump attempts to sue the town of South Park after they reject Jesus Christ - who is an actual person - being put in their elementary school.
The episode holds no punches when it comes to its jokes about Trump, including one about him having a small penis.

In the Oval Office, a cartoonish Trump is seen in a disagreement with the Canadian prime minister, and in the next scene, things get very satirical.
The show's Trump gets into bed with a very large, and very red, version of the devil. South Park then depicts Trump with having a very small penis as he tried to seduce Satan.
After a brief argument between the two, Trump then says: "Come on Satan, you know you can't resist this!" before standing up to show his genitals - which aren't blurred.
The show also references the Epstein list, as Satan asks Trump of his alleged inclusion: “Are you on the list or not? It’s weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax.”

Safe to say, the White House weren't thrilled with the episode, as spokesperson Taylor Rogers issued a scathing statement following the episode's airing on Wednesday (23 July).
"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," he 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."
However, it seems that South Park's co-creator, Trey Parker, isn't too concerned about the backlash.

Taking to the stage at San Diego's Comic-Con International along with the show's other creator, Matt Stone, Parker was asked about the reaction to the episode, to which he sarcastically replied: “We're terribly sorry.”
His comment was then followed by a long, deadpan stare.
The White House didn't stop there with its criticisms, however, as they also branded it a 'fourth-rate show', adding: "The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offense’ [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show.
"Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows."
