South Park has just released the third episode of its new season and they once again took aim at Donald Trump, this time over the President’s Washington, D.C. crime takeover
South Park has honored its latest episode by changing up the profile picture on their official X account.
The animated sitcom dropped the third episode of Season 27 on Wednesday night, which saw the show once again take aim at Donald Trump’s administration, specifically the President’s Washington, D.C. crime takeover. The program featured troops marching past national landmarks and also poked fun at Trump’s “small” manhood.
The latest episode starred fan-favorite character Towelie as he was sent to Washington to try to convince the President to reclassify marijuana at the federal level. In tribute to the episode, South Park changed their X profile picture to a photo of Towelie.
The profile picture showed Towelie standing against a yellow background. Before the change, the show had a picture of South Park’s Jesus Christ as its profile picture.
South Park has also taken aim at Kristi Noem on social media, previously changing their profile picture to one of Department of Homeland Security Secretary with a melting face. Noem has also been mocked in the latest season.
Wednesday’s episode of South Park saw Towelie take a tour of the Capitol, visiting various iconic sites now filled with National Guard troops. At one point he even walked through a militarized Union Station.
The Union Station visit seemed to be a subtle dig at Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who were both booed during a visit to the train depot. Protestors gathered at Union Station shouting “shame” and “we want the military out of our streets,” according to CNN.
The episode aired after the President announced last week he had placed D.C. police under direct federal control. He also deployed approximately 800 National Guard troops to D.C. to “rescue our nations capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse,” despite violent crime figures showing a decline in recent years.
Vance defended Trump’s decision in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. He said, “This living with lawlessness and disorder, that’s fundamentally a question of political will.
“If you’ve got the political will to enforce the law, you can make even cities like D.C. safe again.” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has criticized Trump’s latest move, describing it as “authoritarian, unsettling and unprecedented.”
The Trump administration has fired back at South Park. Following this season’s premiere episode, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Variety, “This show hasnt been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.”
