The White House criticized South Park after its Season 27 premiere mocked Donald Trump in a storyline involving Satan. Spokesperson Taylor Rogers issued the administration’s response on July 24, 2025; co-creator Trey Parker answered the next day at San Diego Comic-Con with a brief, deadpan “We’re terribly sorry.”
Which South Park episode showed Trump with Satan?
The episode was “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” the Season 27 premiere, reported as airing on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. Its Trump satire included a scene placing him in bed with Satan and a parody of a pro-Trump public-service announcement assisted by deepfake technology. The episode also mocked Trump suing the town after residents challenged Jesus’s presence at the elementary school. TVLine’s July 24 account and Variety’s report describe the episode and the response it prompted.

What did the White House say about South Park?
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers responded on July 24, 2025. The Associated Press published her statement as: “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.”
Rogers also accused the political left of hypocrisy for praising the show after criticizing its offensive content. Those comments are the White House’s characterization, not an independently established assessment of the show’s relevance. The Associated Press account reports the statement and its context.

How did Trey Parker respond?
At a Comedy Central animation panel during San Diego Comic-Con, co-creator Trey Parker said, “We’re terribly sorry,” then held a long, deadpan-comic stare, according to the AP. The ironic delivery made the line a joke rather than a substantive retraction of the episode.

Coverage connected the premiere’s timing with a reported new agreement between Paramount and creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Variety described a five-year deal covering 50 new episodes and streaming rights to previous seasons on Paramount+. The reported $1.5 billion valuation was attributed by the AP to the Los Angeles Times and other outlets, rather than stated as a directly confirmed Paramount figure. The reporting establishes the deal’s described terms, not current episode availability on Paramount+ in every country.
