South Park, now in its 27th season, is renowned for satirizing American politics and culture. The White House's recent and pointed dismissal of the show as irrelevant, following an episode which parodied Trump, contrasts sharply with a federal agency now using South Park imagery for recruitment.

The Season 27 premiere of the Comedy Central animated series, "South Park", has stirred controversy this week. The episode, which aired on Wednesday, July 23, features Trump crawling into bed with Satan, a reference to the president's recent attacks on the media.

Perhaps the comedians best suited to fight President Donald Trump are the ones who speak his language of crass insult most fluently. The season premiere of "South Park," which aired July 23, depicted Trump in crude caricature - involved in a gay sexual affair with Satan and embarrassed over his minuscule genitalia.
